the resurrection
the other car is waiting for the last few parts to arrive so i decided to do some work on the other project. this was a whole car, then it got parted out hense the mixed matched body parts lol. Its a good thing i have a few shells layin around, i was able to make a dent less body, ugly as all hell but a fresh paint job will fix that. still have to stuff the rear subframe under it but that should be done next week, and damn there were alot of bee's nests through out the frame lol. anywho heres a few pics. i got the wheels from ehime, red bumper is off of a s4 gxl parts car, fenders are off another s4 gxl, and that ecu your looking at is out of my old 5.0 fox body mustang.....

got a new subframe and lsd stuck up under this pos, subframes are a bitch and a half on 20 yr old cars that all tweak different. brakes are all hooked up, wheels are goin to the powder coater to get a nice bronze finish (cars gonna be black so i think it will look sick). mounts and drive line should be here next week and the motor should be in shortley if not same day. oh and these are prolly goin on the motor and a nice cage
