stellybeats build thread

ok first things first! picked up my car a few weeks ago in pretty rough shape. The motor had jumped timing and tore the head up aswell as the pistons. the body and interior were in pretty good shape but super dirty and mistreated.

the goals for the car are to make north of 700hp and be a super fun/clean weekend warrior and occasional track day car.

my last little project was a turbo s2000 and made a little over 500hp to the wheels





everything done to the car will be done by me and friends i hope everyone enjoys the process


cheers

Heading home with the car

Nasty bay

Pulled the head to access damage

Looks like an awesome build so far. I love when guys do it themselves at home. Reminds me when Mustang guys did that.
