Thought i would start a build thread on here for my new family car. Building a street type car for drivability and hopefully long high speed powerskids. I have done 95 percent of the work myself with a helping hand here and there from Bloodbath and sourcing out tuning and gearbox build. Imported the car to Australia from the states in very original condition.

Here is my first run, 13psi boost and shifting at 5500rpm. Was kicked off no cage etc, wanted to try run a 9 sec pass with the 70 shot of gas and shifting at 6500

Here is a few pics of the interior before trimming and after. The thing is tidy and has no rust! I wanted the interior to still look stock as possible.
