so far just working on the engine bay and then putting it together. as for the interior, its going to be fully gutted and painted, a roll bar, bucket seat and a dash board. if i can find some decent door panels then thats all. ---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ---------- > [@SilverGT](#): > > I’ll buy the k20 swap from you 🙂 if i had 6k cash in my hands i would love too. ---
