It begins...

[Fidhle007]

I'm starting a new, more comprehensive build thread here so my updates will go there.



That's all for now, more to come as progress is made.

I may just rust it, what do you think?

[Fidhle007]

[kronus]

You should crash it into something.

[Fidhle007]

Not until I have all four wheels on it...

[Miasma]

Did you swap everything over from your other car?

[Fidhle007]

I will eventually.

[Miasma]

Sweet, Didn't you have that white car pretty much dialed in with everything you wanted?

[Fidhle007]

Yeah, it was pretty dialed but I'm psyched to have the opportunity to do everything again. The white car was pieced together in my free time and usually I only had the lift for an evening so I didn't have time to pull things apart and clean/reinforce/powder coat and such. This time I have all winter to fuck around with this car so it should be more of a "restomod" project then a "Throw parts at it and see what sticks" project.

needs moar bondo.

I know, I need to talk to my body guy about that. He does really great work though, that quarter had been punch pretty hard. It was the only damage on the car beside the usual dents and dings though so I'm happy with it as a shell.

Oh deer?

So what are the rough specs that this thing will run (engine/box/ECU/suspension)? Nice tyres, too (and by that I mean fuck stance/poke, give me grip).

[Fidhle007]

Well my old car had a S50/ZF/3.25, GC Coilovers, Massive Street kit, E36 M3 steering rack, ST sways and some other goodies. All of that is salvageable plus I have a few more goodies for this car (RE: wheels/tires and such...)

subscribing to this, should be one hell of a build.
