Default LS1 S2000 Build
I have a 2004 S2000 that I bought as a rolling chassis. I had a stock S2000 at the time also but wanted to build something a bit different. I started it last year but took some time off for work and to do a Sponsorship for the SCCA Atlanta region. OK, enough of the story time for pics.

Where it all started.

Really nice build man. I always like those cars. Think maybe you need a bigger trailer for it!

We were actually loading up for NOPI. I was heading to get Xyster's car that morning.



I do have a new smaller trailer that I'm working on.
