not finished yet and the wheels are soon to be gold

sorry stat1k used flush in the wrong way, I was referring to the shavings, they clean up the look of the car.

^ if you say so man, i thought that shit went out with the 90s. i'll reserve judgment to see a final product but contrast is usually a good thing. it'd be like if you removed your nose and mouth and said it cleaned up the look of your face.

Thanks Messy, and I know but It can wait, I have one its been spray painted so I'm going to go to the pick'n pull this weekend.

Kinda off topic but would you hook me up with some good threads on A series builds? Preferably N20.. I was wanting to B swap badly, But I want to laugh at kids when they say my single cam cant beat there stock b18.

that is a good reference for building a strong a20.

at one point i owned that coupe. if built right the a20 can have some balls. i was keeping up E36 m3s

a turbo a20 will do the most power. on stock blocks members here have ranged from 160whp all the way to 240

Looking good but I'm a bit weirded out by the fact that the side view mirrors are missing.
