Here is the final product (I recently painted the rocker area and built a new exhaust) and the summer wheels are backon. The only project I have left is a fiberglass subwoofer box. This chassis now has a little over 1k miles on it

Nice, before I've even finished my first LS1 project, a 1989 toyota pickup (my first set of wheels), I picked up a 1993 325i for a LS1 swap late this year or next. I may sell my DD, a '06 legacy GT, and DD this until it's time for the swap. We'll see. Thanks for the inspiration.



note: not my house, it's the Lady's I bought it from.

Rao thats so badass, its totally unassuming and so subtle, I'd never guess that car had any *****, especially those of your built motor in there, holy ****. awesome work and its cool to see an anti-show-car type of build, I bet thats a fun DD now huh huh huh?!???!

would be such a good answer to a family hauler that can haul major *** on its own.

It is partly bought and partly built.

I am already looking for a new project, we will see if this sells on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AMESELX%3AIT
