What he said. Last thing you want to do is get it home only to find your running on one rotor. Check the oil for coolant. check the coolant for oil. Make sure the radiator isn't leaking. Since its an Fc, check the area under were the hatch glass comes down for rust. Also check the frame rail under the master cylinder. Were is this car at? If you want me to come check it out, I may me able to, depending on the time. PM me the details.

Make sure you compression test it also. Gotta be careful to make sure the pistons are in spec.

I'm confused? Is this the beginning of some type of male porno gang bang or are you doing some type of Indy Car track day?

In all seriousness, looks cool as hell. Is this in Orlando or where?
