Took the car to Eric Yost @ Customs by Bigun the other day. He's going to handle building all the rear suspension and the rear end as well.

Also purchased the turbos for the car. Friends at Bulls Eye hooked me up with these sweet TCT 66/73s.

Update on the car. Had Customs by Bigun handle building the rear and setting up the 4 link. Just waiting on the JRI Coilovers and Anti-Roll bar setup and it will be ready to come back to the shop. Finally the car is off the table .

Rear had 35 spline axles, spool, and 3.73 gear. Wilwood brake package also.

That back half looks really good

I used 1-1/2x3 box tube for the frame rails outback. Wish I would have done tube

Car is going to be a wild one for sure

I ended up having to install answay bar to keep the car from barrel rolling on the hit, do you have plans for one?

Anti-Roll and Coilovers aren't in the pictures yet but are currently going in. I wanted tube to keep the car as light as possible.

We just got an image of this driving through a residential neighborhood.

The rear-end is looking seriously beefy. Nice job!

Got the car back to the shop. Ordered a bunch of little stuff for it. Had the turbos so i went ahead and mounted those in place. Looks better already.

Looks awesome! Stance and fitment is killer. That elbow looks a little funky sticking up like that though. Maybe once it has the plumbing and stuff hooked to it, it will look more at home. A high ram or similar would look killer with this setup
