Nice job bringing the car back to life. Good call on getting rid of those C-West pody parts, they are sooo played out.

After a while i gave up on trying to keep track of how much i have spent. All the work has been done here at the house with the help of friends and beer. The stacking of the motor that was done by forum member aicrotary2.

The pulley is from Pettit

I kept bugging his *** this morning to get started before the rain comes... I had him start at 11 am after texting him since 9 am.
Good thing I did... as we were locking down the last 2 nuts on the PPF the sky opened up and it poured for about an hour... I had to drive the 1st Gen home in the rain with NO A/C... time to buy Rain X Anti fog.....

I dont drive the 3rd gen anymore....
Since I put the wheels back on the 1st gen the 3rd gen just doesn't look as good with the stock wheels...
I am looking into finding some decent wheels for now so I can drive it again...Check out the thread of the G35 wheels I tried on and let me know what you think.

Glad to see the progress on what looks to be a well planned build. I just got mine started today for the first time. I stuck with twins though cause I never got a chance to drive it before the rebuild. I want to enjoy it semi how it was intended to be. I would love to experience a nice single FD to feel the difference though.

I was looking at the way your project started and thought " Hmm, I guess hes going to paint the bodykit. I should just make a joke and say your removing all that gay ****, right? " but I felt like it would be extremely rude. As I'm scrolling down you I notice your actually removing all of it. Good job Sofar, so good.

All the drive train is finished up, hydraulics bled, and starter harness on so the car goes back to the ground. Getting closer.
