Rolex,
You know what its like, where do you find enough time? To do things right takes forever if you're doing it yourself. But yes, the engine is suppose to be finished this week. I'm hoping to make a race in the middle of August. We're also getting ready for the 24 hrs of Lemons in July. That should be fun.

Looks beautiful Diago, love the gussets at the joints. That thing has got to be strong as hell.

Daigo beautiful looking car! Did you repaint the entire interior? I hope that exhaust works well for you!

Thanks Dustin.
I only needed to paint the areas where the sound insulation was removed and the cage. The car was in mint cond when I started. Yes, I think that exhaust is going to be awesome. Just waitnig for John's MAF kit to arrive too.

Nice work, love the cage. What series are you building it for?

Motor mounts are LR, just put in a set myself.
