Already sold the front bumper, radiator and fan shroud so pretty much close to gettin the car for free. My plan is to strip the car down, remove engine, transmission, gas system, diff etc. Gonna buy a written off xr6 turbo and pretty much transfer everything I need over.My plan is about 400rwkw in the end, gonna look at the spool rebuild kit too with a completion deadline set for April, 2013 just in time for my 22nd birthday and my full license Replacing the body with a typhoon kit, fpv black agents for wheels and was considering a black respray with red flakes. Im pretty much 100% new to all this but am very dedicated to learn and appreciate any help along the way and will be offering jobs for slabs/cash too...heres some pics of the start! thanksIf anyone needs any parts let me know im letting anything go.
