quick update with some pics i had on the camera and a few I took today.
There's some 'build' pictures , but its nothing compared to the neat builds you can see in other project posts here , i'm nowhere near being a mechanic, and just do it on the 'little' spare time i have with the 'little' tools i have

The engines i got for me and a friend , being readied for fitment . ( other engine is an ams KA24)

my engine readied for mouting

being put in the car

30 mins later

A lot of small bits put back in their place


Mine's Exhaust , i've been asked to sell this one a lot of times , but i won't lol

Interior as it is right now, very dusty though.


My 'other' toy , that helps me be patient with the evo build!

the wrecked car is my alfa romeo, i've been hit by a cherokee while waiting at a red light.

As for the power , No idea yet , the only power moving the car so far was the one coming from my legs.
We'll see how much it puts out when Chris comes around

Amazing car! I had an Evo customer at the previous shop I worked at that was from New Caledonia. I definitely give you guys credit...you pay an arm and a leg to ship parts to your neck of the woods! Again, amazing build!
