My Ws6. My Build Plans. Your Opinions?
Alrighty so lately i have been mapping out what i plan to do with my car..
of course the list grows and is manipulated everyday.. however, i believe i have solidified most of it and some of the plans have already been set into motion..
here is the car as it sits right now:
and I am not going to show any pictures of the interior because the dash is cracked, pad is disgusting, carpet is loose fitting aftermarket, and seats are old leather, and doors are trashed. i have all the plastic replaced and since i was going to redo the interior, i decided to make it all ebony black interior. i still have alot of work to be done, but i expect the interior to be finished during Christmas Break.

1000 will be pushing it with an F1 if you can get it to that point, but in any case, 9's should be very attainable. Running 9s with that setup with a 6 speed will be tough. Me personally, I'd just run the 6 pt cage and when/if I hit the 9s, then upgrade. Solid build, sounds like you're willing to pay the price to do it right, respect.

Well im working a deal with a 6pt wolfe with the doors that open (yay)
And im almost half way with my true duals. Looks like i wont be running cut outs or mufflers... Just x pupe dumped before the axel. Might run em over later on. But since im not going a big cam, it shouldnt be too out of control.
I need to sell my seats, unused interior, steering wheel, prostars, and cutsouts and magnaflow mufflers

Alrighty so it looks like i may be going with a little bit different direction with the pistons..
Might have a custom 10pt cage built (pending price estimate from a local shop)
And bouncing around which slrings im going to use

You must have a really good job to be able to afford all those parts.

I have a decent job.. But i still live at home so besides gas and insurance.. Everything is paid for. Also i sell stuf on ebay craigslist and here so i pull more money on the side.
Hopefully i get these two interships and start making true money and really kick start this build.
So anyways, im pending payment on my ls1 motor i am trying to sell.. Also sold my prostars (still have the fronts but may keep those)
I also need to sell a few other things to get some more cash..
In the next week or 2 ill have a big update on the interior with a ton of pictures
(Dash, carpet, etc.)
Oh and were changing the windshield since it got scared from the wipers and has a nice knick from a rock
Called my builder today.. He was so excited to do a 402/8 build.. Maybe i can talk him into a discount haha
