My fc build from 04 till now
 
Owned a few fcs before this one. had a first gen, a couple of 2nd gens with the dream of owning a t2 back in the day. finally caught eye on a 88 t2 non running that i traded for a running 87 gxl. got it home found a loose fround added good gas and fire it right up haha. has come a VERY LONG WAY since then. havent really done a full build thread till now. well here goes....

this is when i got the car. stock 88 t2 few bumps and scratches... engine a mess lol

tip, if you plan on running the stock coils, you need to mod them to get them to work. otherwise, they wont work.

if you want, i can sell you my coilpacks. Mine work just fine.
