Default 93 Reef Blue LSX Notchback Build

My 91 Coupe project is just about done so I am looking to get the next project underway:banana:

The new project is a 1993 Reef Blue Coupe, originally a 4 banger car that was recently painted, caged and some thru the floor sub frame connectors tied in.

The day I picked her up:















1st order of business when she arrived home was tossing the 4 banger wheels in favor of some pony wheels and adding some clear head lights:beerchug:














and parked next to her new sister:pop:








Been stock piling parts for a good while now and hope to make some headway with her this winter.

After going through her sisters build thread, I think we are all looking forward to this LS build
Very nice. Wow, a ton of work went into that bad boy. Great job.

For now, im gonna keep it simple and make the car user friendly and see what kind of track times it will run. Once I get comfortable with it, I have no qualms about doing some heads or head work, cam and def a 125 shot.
