i haven't really been looking for the ls1/t56 yet, there's a bunch floating around and even complete cars at the auctions so i'm sure when i'm ready, there's gonna be one for me, my concern now is to get the body fixed and engine pay painted before i throw anything into the bay

haven't done an update in a long time, the car has mostly been sitting at my bodyshop, with slow progress
spent last month pulling the frame and straightening the front end, removing all components and painted the engine bay matte black
brand new oem headlight covers and hood latch cable
got some new wheels, 18x9.5" +22 volk ce28n in gunmetal w/ polished lip, 265/35/18 yokohama advan's
painted matte black, installed all of the components back
removed the front windshield to get the car ready for paint
here is my new color, from the mazda 3's and rx8's, the name says it all
jammed the rear hatch

towed the car over to THE SHOP SAN BRUNO to get the motor put in
in the background, you can see matthel (the owner's) ford raptor DD and his 500whp/500wtq LS7 powered FD

Good Luck with build! Matthel is a really cool guy. When I was building my car he supplied me with a lot of stock parts I needed since he does so many LS swaps he just has a lot of FD parts. I think he still has his Rotary powered FD too. His V8 FD sounds mean.
