Looks pretty good. Not too much of a fan of the green or lack of bumpers but who cares as long as you are. :D

Yeah, when I got it I thought the first thing I would do is get rid of the green but it has grown on me. :D   I have some crap bumpers but I thought I would try these out.  The front T bars are actually drill bits.  I have some 20mm dummy rounds that are going on in the near future. :D

Yeah, it's a little stuffed in there...I still have to mount the o2 sensor, trim the rear apron, mount it and the deck lid and tune the combo before it blows up!! :D Gotta get the waste gate workin at around 8 lbs...right now it hits 10+ and the injectors can't take it :cry: gotta get some 24lbrs.  Man this thing is trans breaking fast! :roll: I know it's not your thing David but something about stupid power from a A/C 1.8L is sooo....interesting!  I'm sure it will be short lived but then I get to build a 2332 turbo and see what all the fuss is about! :wink:

Not My Thing ??     I'm not so sure about that.   You have to remember that back in the day when we were wild and crazy, we didn't have all the "Stuff" that you have today that you can play with and ruin your bank account.  All we had was a new company called EMPI.  That was back when EMPI meant something.  
      When I built my Manx buggy , I ordered a set of duel buggy headers, a cast iron 181 centrifical dist,  2 barrel single port intake with a 32 DNIX Zenith carb ( no such thing as a 1600 DP) EMPI  3/4 race camshaft( who knows what the cam specs were)   All this for $129.  We were happy
 :lol:  :lol:
       It just blows me away to see what is out there now Jezz!!!! :shock:

I am a stock kinda Guy now.    That is what happens with age.  I don't think my body could stand for 2ft in the air "wheelies" much less listen to a poor old ex-1600 making about 300 hp @  8500 RPMs anymore and then waiting to see how long it takes before the "nose cone" on the tranny starts messing with your hemoroids
