So, I have had this car in my head for 15 years.........

My REPU project should be completed in the next month (or two). My next project's details have started taking up my spare thoughts recently.

In order to keep the wife off the sniff of another project, Chad kept this SA at his house for a number of years.

Just a basic SA roller at the moment. It does have some AutoX history but am not sure what suspension goodies are left on it. Really does not matter as 100% of the suspension will be re-developed.

The goal for the car is a track day and hill climb monster. Like I mentioned, the details of this car have been in my head for well over 15 years. This is the car I have always desired to build. This is the car to be built without rules. Just built around what I want.

I hope to begin just after the REPU build completes. Look for some updates late Spring.

Nice to see you with another first gen. I saw this car when Chad dropped the motor off, too bad the hood went flying.

Cant wait to see what you have up your sleeves for this one.

You've been holding out on us Billy, welcome back to the World of 1st Gens.

That hill climber monster idea does sound familiar.

Kind of strange for a 1st gen, IMHOP. But hey, let's see what you come up with.

In the mean time, get the REPU done first, OK? We want to see it.

Nice looking project, awesome goals as well for the SA.

The paint on that REPU is absolutely GORGEOUS by the way. Good luck with both!
