[QUOTE="Double0fox, post: 16400293, member: 51290"] So first off, to get to where I am currently at in the build stage is going to take some posting. I will try to get it all together from the start, but it might bore some of you for a while. The car has came ALONG way since I bought it. I will post in bold at the top of the thread when I am to where I currently at, but it might take me a couple days. Alright where do I start. I will try to put all of it together from the last year. I love having car projects. Sometimes I think to much. If I was super rich, I would still be broke from all the cars that I would have. Quick back story though. I used to have a 2000 GT that went through soooooo many changes. Nitrous car, then Supercharged(TorkTech), and was eventually going to get a big single turbo, and bought a Teksid block to build off of. I built/changed everything except the transmission (not even joking, and not sure how that T-45 survived for as long as it did). I was in tear down mode again when I moved from Oregon to Washington.
