spent time looking at pictures of your build. its a complete joy to look at and such a high quality build. shockingly nice quality and creativity.. then with an equal amount of shock I am amazed at how ruined I consider this car to be. theres like twenty things done to this car that I would never do. most of which detract from the joy these cars are to drive. you would have to read a build thread of mine to understand. but just had to comment because it is just a fabulous quality build. just not how I would do it. but thanks for posted just the same. hope you can ignore the mixed feedback.
 
Appreciate the compliment and criticism. I actually agree with you. Being my first really big build I've done I'm happy with the outcome of the car. But at the same time I would have built it completely different knowing what I know now.
 
I would have done a standard or top Mount turbo, rear exit exhaust, full radiator, left power steering and heat, possibly a/c, standard placement fuel tank, no surge cell, radio. Maybe some other things. Pretty much make as much power without taking away all the luxuries, and a little simpler.
 
I am a craftsman by trade with almost 30 yrs experience and I must say the attention to details in your build is second to none, look at my join date that should tell you that I have been around here for a while and i have seen many build thread although amazing yours takes my vote a #1. Very good job!
 
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you. I only wish I had the funds and time to go over the rest of the car with such detail. Sadly I am having trans issues and the car will be sitting for a while.
