A Lowballers Build

Hello

Ballad of a Lowballer
Everything was done by me (98.5% of the time) in my parents garage
started this build 2.5 years ago when i was 17
so this isn’t “clean”

bought this LE Virgin <-- like your sister use to be

Slapped this Aero front on it

Dry Ice chisel and hammer, Por 15 and grinder, sheet metal and welder is best

That moment when you thought your car was clean and then you realize its not… so then you take your hammer and wrench and start breaking things… Rust Issues

Tranny mount adapter easy to make saves you big big money
http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w655/markykusi/IMG_1152_zpsa94ef022.jpg

Modifications needs to be done to the original mount though

really cut up my knuckles doing this. couldn’t torque a couple bolts so i ended up with a coolant leak :frowning:
Didn’t stop me from going to ToppDrift!

Coolant leak was giving me alot of problems. and it didn’t help that i crashed into a curb and broke a brakeline.
