      What are your end goals for it? Driver car?
      My goal is for a car that looks OEM+ and can be driven but only once every week or so. The clutch I have for the setup is basically on/off so it is very not street friendly. Hoping to just have it be an absurdly powered show car that is also capable of driving distance. So, I will be doing all I can to keep the power figures up and the noise at a minimum.

      Which coincidentally is quite the opposite of the general ruse of this site :p

          Well being that I plan on breaking a lot of driveshafts and transmissions and differentials, At first I may just try to get a hold of a 3.46 LSD but I most likely will do rear subframe modifications to hold a large case diff.

              Yes, the rear lower euro valance was welded on. In the pics there is a picture of the inside of the trunk and it is seamless.
