Well if you start a for sale thread for some of the stuff you have, let me know. Theres a few small items I'm interested in. Good job so far. When am I going to be able to see this car? Are you going to bring it to an autocross at the Auto Club Speedway or to a San Bernardino meet?

so one the worst things that could happen did.

I am Jobless, and it couldnt be at a worser time.

i havnt worked since thursday(long story)..

so far i been making money selling parts.

and i start school next month or soo..


looks like my build might be delayed...



but this does give me time to dedicate to the car, and i do have lot of parts for sale...

i could make it happen

i hope
