[B4THEZ]

I went there saturday and met Jay. This is a big project, is not just a bolt on swap... lots of cutting, welding and fab.

But The good news is that by the end of this month she will be ready and heading for a new paint job...

[xsublimefrekx]

i cant wait to see this thing done. Nothing but top notch work out of you guys.

[vaughn4]

Looks great in there. I love that it is sitting behind the front suspension. I may have missed this but, what are your plans are far as suspension goes?

Im just getting lowering front springs for now... Don't know in the future, I have to drive it first...

Is this a mid engine car now? since the motor sits far back it might be a 50/50 weight distribution....

[Kouki_monstr]

^ No, just makes it handle amazing and itll resemble an s2000 but better!! cant wait to see it

[tricky_ab]

Sweet! It looks like it always belonged in the bay...

[blitzsti22]

wow looking good

[nopwrsldr180]

Is this a mid engine car now? since the motor sits far back it might be a 50/60 weight distribution....

try again.

[DR NISSAN]

Yes, since the engine is behind the front axles it is a MR now.
Though it is impossible for any vehicle to have 50/60 distribution. Do you mean 50/50 or 40/60?

[Dee]

Oh this is going to be SIIIICK! I'll be back. :)

[GSXRJJordan]

Wow, too friggin sick.

I'm incredibly jealous.

[cbcustoms]

Thats pretty sweet

[Nezahualcoyotl]

[drftwerks]

i hope its just for mock-up, then it gets pulled for the engine bay to get thoroughly cleaned and painted..

[Andrew @ 240sxMotoring]

We've been waiting for a lot of custom and one-off parts to arrive so that in addition to all the off time during the holidays, I think we're going to stay quiet till it's all done.
