    I really like this build. The orange accents are really cool! To go with your oil cooler you should get some black fender flares and fender mirrors.

    What kind of numbers are you putting down?

                Looking good Kyle!

                Castro does AWESOME work. I'll be seeing him soon for a treatment.

                    Decided to start on the interior. A good friend of mine works for 3M so I got a bunch of cans of their undercoat for free. Pretty light and supposed to be tough.

                    Here it is after applying a second coat.



                    Put all the wiring back.



                    And the seats back in! Hopefully it stays in good shape.



                    Future plans are to paint the back and tranny tunnel... I'm curious to see how that goes ha.

                              I love this... It's so simple but among one of the best builds I've seen on r3v... Keep it up

                                I've seen this car pre turbo. Very unique ride with tons of personal touch (cool shit Kyle!) Chris does excellent work and is one of the most stand up people I've meet in this biz. Glad you're here Chris!
