The entire paint is crap, it also needs a bit of everything else like electrical.

Missing a couple pieces on the interior, AC not working and a few other minor things. Nothing major seems to be wrong with it and it runs good and starts right up cold/warm. It also has not a single gauge so I have no clue what it is boosting or pattern, and has from what I can tell all stock cooling system. It will be a slow process with reliability stuff done first but I will eventually get it to where I want it.

edit: From what I was told it has an 02 JDM engine in it but have no records for it, it will be going to Lopez which is where I was told it was swapped to see if I can find out more and do a correct compression test on it.

Here you can really see the paint problems

Almost 100% original engine with a few exceptions that need to be addressed.

I chose to leave it disconnected....
It goes from 0-10 or somewhere in between.
As far as i'm concerned it's a obstacle

I was just giving you a hard time... Looks awesome and to be honest, stock gauge isn't that useful when you already have a PFC.
