So, I know i havent posted much in a while, but fear not! This project is very much active. The current hurdle, which is very nearly cleared, is the engine to transaxle adapter and custom clutch. After that, it's getting the engine in and mounted. As far as actual progress, well.....
Engine out, engine bay prepped. Found some new wheels in 5x130 bolt pattern! Some nice 3 piece units. 17x9 front and 17x11 rears. They even weight less than the BBS ones coming off. Plus, they have badass offsets that means no spacers are even needed. They're off getting cleaned and powdercoated at the moment, should be getting them back tomorrow. Pictures to follow.
The engine and trans should be getting back in the next two or three weeks, then I can start getting down and dirty with this girl.
