I ended up parting it out, i had enough of the fwd and the i came to the realization no matter how much i did to the car i would always wish it was rwd. It had a lot of stupid little quirks and a huge list of things i needed to do before i would be half way content with leaving it alone and i just had enough of it.
Given the choice to go back, i would never have given up on it, i only now realize how much i loved that car, and i miss it more and more everyday, honestly i have a hard time looking at pictures of it :(

Here is the last picture i could bare to take of it, right before the doors, lights and wing came off then it went to the yard.

I plan to upload a shit ton of pictures i have of it and post them all in this thread as somewhat of a tribute, more or less i just want a place to upload them all where they can stay and be seen by everyone.

RIP baby, you are missed.

Can't remember the last time I lurked and read this thread but I always come back to it. Love those wheels as well as the super clean engine bay! Your project has come along very nicely. Much respect to you and your badass car! :tup: B)

As I cannot edit and hadn't finished the whole 22 pages (was up to 20) I noticed the car gone. Glad that there are still pictures floating around of what it once was. Good luck with whatever project you have next.
