Car is going up to the workshop Today. Starting with the interior parts that need to be removed, and painted.
Once the car is up I'll list all the upgrades and steps for this first part of the build, which is simple, but effective for mancation

Did it have factory LSD or are you just swapping the factory option 220 to the Guard unit?

Well thank you very much Mr. (expert) NJ-GT. You are so kind.
I'll take my POS 350 whp engine build and run in the "Green Tea" Cup class.
You know us little old guys have weak hearts.
Of course since it's being done by an "outfit" who doesn't know much and are marginal at best.

Looking forward to chatting about your plans for this 3.8 RS and seeing it in person with your old one. Maybe Orbit can be kind enough to take a picture of the 2 of them together,...

I'd place a small wager that you may be going FVD 4.0 via Orbit. Keep the dreams of a 4.0L ALIVE!

Well sir he drew first blood.
If he wants a fight then okay, this old pitbull has tasted the jugular before.
