Default picked up a shell ... guess ill start a track car

Hey there , had a chance to snag a buddy's old track car he was taking apart . and I was getting tiired of my daily becoming my project . so I picked it up about a month ago looking like this




was just a bare shell needing lots of love , and I had a parts car sitting around so figured make them one.

I removed the rear section of my parts car and framed the inside of it , and then used thread inserts so i can fully remove the rear section of the car if i need to



it's hard having a project let alone a few when you have no garage ..

Thanks bud , ya its kinda a bigger one , and the wife is the one pushing me to do it . so at least I have the OK from the warden . going to be building a full harness for it and fuel system . when i get back from out of town at the end of the week I'll be finishing up the coolant lines and front bars to support the intercooler and headlights.

Thanks!, and im building it for grip and the odd time going with my friends to drift events . I am still up in the air about the 2j . I do have a motor that still needs about 3 grand of stuff to get it finished . but ill leave this right here right here
