        alrighty then. I know he's new, but chill the fuck out. He bought this from a friend of ours who did everything to it (xlr8rbob's old car). Some people are too much of a pansy to tackle a project like this (as apparent in this thread). But I'm confident he will bring this car around to a respectable level. Give it some time.

          cause its surface rust and isnt a big deal cause I have a pair and enough sense to know a car with potential when I see it.:yawn:

          As for some ppl asking of paint the surface rust has to come off obviously(I.E why you no paint) I'm thinking an off white to start off but its up in the air, for now the real issue is the rust getting it off then prime and paint ect.

                As of the motor and this is in time I will be looking to turbo it myself with helpful hands from friends with the know how and skills to get the job done right. But for the meantime I need to put a heat shield in cause the texas heat doesnt help this engine in that department.:(






                Turbo M30 that just sounds good:D

                  Congrats man. Engine swap is done, all you need is paint and wheels, then your set. Your car does have lots of potential, the power is already there..
