Put the 400hp haltech system.. And you got a cage in that thing use it and install thar race engine....

 

Does it take that long to do a proper body job from start to finish or are they just taking their time with it? Just seems to be a very long process. Its looking great though Ian!

 

You are not going to spend all this time and money on a car that looks great and drives like stock, are you? Hell no. You want to turn the key and make heads turn. Then you want to be able to smoke the tires and lay down rubber at break neck speed. Beauty and the Breast, man. Its the best of both worlds.

Now when it comes to passing emissions, can't it be re-tuned (temporarily) into wimpy lean mode? Or just pay a penalty when it fails and move one. Or get the car registered to a postal code that doesn't check emissions?

You don't want stock. That won't be fun to drive.

 

I was in between moves on my house and then couldn't make up my mind on the colour (As I get older I keep on over thinking decisions) and was never in a hurry to get it back.

 

Went and saw the car today. Pictures do not give it justice. Colour is awesome and just so smooth and deep.....

 

Car is now done. Three pictures of it without some parts still on it. IE wing, nice rims lol etc.

Now to pick it up. RIght now I don't have covered transportation so may just wait for the snow to melt first.

 

Muffler condoms!..

 

It looks great! I'd wait for more snow to melt and the salt to get washed off the roads.

 

Soooooo you'll see it in August? lol
Looks great

 

Yup. Exhaust is hanging so this keeps it padded. LOL

 

big pimpin!!

 

Congrats Ian, hoping for the good weather to come swiftly!

Jon

 

Are you taking it to Deals Gap???

 

Next year we do Deals Gap Ian! The Canadians will blow their minds with clean stock looking FCs!

 

Its a bare shell. LOL. No motor either. Probable take me most of the summer to put back together.

 

I was not going to go this year. In fact was going to not go again and try to do seven stock. But maybe you can convince me to go next year 8th or 9th time a charm...

 

We need to bring home all the hardware from the car show! Too bad my fc doesn't have a trailer hitch. I could take my sled down too. Bet that would be a first at dgrr...

 

Should try and bring the sled!

 

Car now is at home. Spend 5 hours cleaning the interior and probable have another few more...If I would have know I would have removed more of the interior. LOL

The Paint is absolutely amazing. I'm seriously considering never letting it see the rain or dirt lol. Gonna be a long road assembling it.

Pictures to follow...

 

Another garage queen

 

Looks like a lot of good work paying off.

 

Very slow going.....

 

Pulled front subframe to clean and repaint and to also clean up underneath the frame where it sits, Pulled and rewrap all harness to go along with my new engine harness, gonna pull the front tow hooks and paint. A bunch of small things that just is taking me forever...

Wow......so nice and clean.
