Hello Guys and Gals. Uh, basically I bought my third DSM / Money Pit. This one is by far the better of the previous two. When I bought the car I was a bit skeptical because the mileage was so low but the seller let me do a test drive, and he let me do a compression test, change the oil, spark plugs, and air filter. In the end I got a pretty good deal on a mint 98 GSX and I am excited to share my build story with you all.
Below I have listed my plans for this build I'm not sure I will get all of them done as quickly as I or you anticipate. The fact of the matter is I will try and deliver what I have laid out in my plans.
