Project FC

So I have a 90 FC and I got it really cheap. I'm doing small stuff as I go but my goal is to turn it into a drift car. Let me know what you guys think.

ok so this is how the car looked when I first bought it.



When i got the car the the tranny was bad so I took it out to put a new one


Also I'm putting in an LSD diff off an 87 GXL, took mine out.


New tranny under car.


No diff or driveshaft waiting for LSD diff.

Remember to change the fluid in the trans before you go beating on it

Ahhh I would not go welded for a street car,have welded a lot of diffs for race cars but on the street they can be a handful, especially parking etc. and LS1 is cool but its not cheap! Gimme a ring and we can discuss.
