I thought he said he was going 2J. But then again, why would he sell that v160 6spd? The plot thickens..... lol

I think I recognize those wheels...

Heck of a project man, good luck. Looking good so far!

(I think I sent you a wheel-related e-mail a while back, not sure if you got it)

the car has been sitting for awhile, thus no updates. It's now getting its turn to get going on this build.

motor is in......my last set up had alot of bling in the engine bay, I didnt go that route this time around. Polishing engine parts gets real old, real quick. Clean and simple is the theme this time around. Instead of polishing or chrome, I went with cerma chrome on the intake and valve covers, ceramic coated the exhaust manifold black, There will be a little more bling in there with the polished piping, radiator, and a few more other odds and ends. I really wanted to keep it clean, black with a little bling.

By the way, yes, I did keep the V160



I have a new body set up as well, but that has been changing every other week so I wont even post on that yet.

My HRE's are undergoing a new look aswe speak, should have those back this week. They should look pretty bad *** if my vision is on point. Hopefull this is going to kick into high gear now.
