So, last year I picked up Ugmo. After a short stint, Rich D. came up with this car. As it already had a lot of what I wanted to do to my ride, I talked to Rich and we traded off Ugmo. Let the cutting and welding begin. We would need: new floors welded in cut off the remaining fenders GT kit welded in Media blast primer The eventual build would have Fiberglass fenders, hoods, rear bumper suby motor Low maintenance easy for the wiffy to drive Lets begin Attached image(s)

Looking good Chris.
Nice cradle, hats off to Ian for that. It looks like you will use the Subaru gauge cluster? If so, your tilting column will help you get it in and out. Were you able to maintain the same arms length to the wheel? Using the WRX column, that was a big challenge for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
