Build thread: body snatchers 56k bad idea

so little story.
about a year and a half ago my engine let go.
fast forward to last march wheni got the rebuild in and running and everything was good.
just under 2 months later and about 3400miles later i became the meat in a collision sandwich which totalled my fc.
fast forward to this month, thanks to Endneu913 and TOOSHORT_88 i have a uni body and a place to do the swap at.
well to start off we stripped it all down and go it all nice and TOOSHORT_88 did an AMAZING job at painting the bay.
which i unfortunatly dont have pics of right at this moment.
and now i'll let the pictures do the work.

new and old

new bay painted

about two hours in


Endneu913 tranny surfing


engine and tranny out

y dont you take a little extra time and detail the engine. you have a real nice engine bay and i bet you could make that engine look a lot better. i think you would be even happier with the results
