If you guys are wondering what Mac's been doing, well here it is. he's been busy converting his house into this:

I think he has a hoarding problem.







hahaha, but seriously, this dude has been building.. well... EVERYTHING!! I don't even know what he drives anymore. or what he doesn't drive for that matter. I know for sure he's got a beasty 70's celica, and maybe a BMW or two? Either way, I think he'll be back. But for now he's probably busy making different people drool over some build thread on another car enthusiast forum.

Okay in all honesty I didn't HAVE to let her go, but in order to shoot for an fd down the road I did need to get rid of it.

Some how I knew I'd be back, can't seem to get away from fcs. They're just too damn rad. Anyways, been itching to get back into another one for the last few months. Finally put myself in the right position financially...and mentally lol, and pulled the trigger. After searching and searching I think I found the perfect candidate. Bone stock 1986 GXL, yes I like 4pot brakes and power windows haha.

Any ideas for a goal, or is it just going to keep spiraling out of control like the last build ? :P

I have a general idea of how I'd like the car too be, but knowing me there is going to be some spiraling out of control haha


Picked up some small goodies like spark plugs and other not so little things...

Well for sure the exterior is getting a respray and I highly doubt it's going to be white. With that said I was thinking something along the lines of black, gunmetal, orrr white. You know neutral selection. But I have a little time to decide, still need to get a few interior pieces squared away. Thanks for the feedback guys!

Got around to cleaning up the rear harness and getting rid of unnecessary accessories. Also chopped at the speaker towers, looks much better.
