Parts Wishlist: CF doors, tubular rear subframe for AWD swap, a Milspec wall circular connector that has at least 75 pins and has wire support clamp on the back and bends 90*.

Background: The story is too much, the goals too big, and the plans...there are no plans. This is a come as it goes build, whatever I can find in the classifieds for cheap from some chump's unfortunate partout and can be justified being installed on her, and whatever bright idea that comes to mind that can be tested. This is a 7 year old ongoing build that sees no end anytime soon. I have spent more time under her than in her, more time jackstand balling than on all fours. Frankly, to anyone else this build is boring with no expectations, foreshadowing. or anticipation but I have a hell of a lot of fun and she makes me a better person overall and continues to do so, emotionally, physically and mentally.
