some exciting stuff is happening! For the first time in a long time the car is back on the ground! Borrowed @goonie90gsx wheels to roll around on so this thing can get loaded up into the trailer for a field trip up to BS Fab for a manifold! In doing so I had to finish making my steering column...
My car has been pushed to the back burner from doing side work. We(Brandon and I) just wrapped up this cage in this b-e-a-u-tiful evo. This is a full street car with full interior, heat and all. Next up Brandon will be painting the engine bay since its dull and faded and this ones outta here...
