Hey guys, here’s a little project I’m working on, since its SR powered I thought some of you might be interested.

Lots of work to do, fabricate engine mounts, trans mount, relocate the turbo away from the steering shaft, wiring, mount rad, I/C and piping…

Going to be a quick little car when its done. Its curb weight is 1900lbs!

Well its been a little while now, time for updates

It turns out swapping SR’s into these cars is very popular and a small company in the US sells motor mount kits for it! Took a while to get them but were going full tilt at it now.

The body had to come off to fit everything easier.

Hey Jordan, long time man!

He’s cool with it, just wait until you see some of the fab work we will be doing for the exhaust and I/C piping.  
I just sent the rolling shell over to the body guy today, so it’ll be a couple weeks until it comes back for wiring and more fab work.
