Short story about me, I was contacted on SS by a guy in need for help for a manual swap!

Long story about the car: 95' 850 T5/auto, one and same owner still today. He start modding the car around 2004, car is siting on a shop for more than 7 years now, last time was drive around the block 6 months ago.

Car have fully rebuild engine, H rods, performance pistons etc, Garett 3070, Vems, Tial on the hot side,BOV tial as well, 3" FMIC( iron pipes), fully rebuild body (not a kit), custom made Wildwood brakes 6 pistons(disks are like a 1 and half inch wide and 14" large), custom made rims 19", 3" turbo back exhaust(IPD?) with ceramic cat and double tail pipe, V2 coilovers, 98 E36 BMW headlights( that need to extend in lenght the hood and fenders), almost all the IPD good stuff available at that time, x70 series dash, custom four(4) seats, rear camera,Ipod front and rear seats, tons of FC parts (wings, spark cover, intake, rear air extractor etc.etc.

I post a few picture and I will update when I finish the swap ( is all done just need to bleed the clutch)
