Well I decided its time to start my own swap thread. Ill eventually get some of the progress pics up but for now Ill give you what I consider to be a finished product as far as the swap goes. The setup will change over time with the next mods being a disk brake swap, a new rear end, then a new front mount intercooler that doesn't hang as low. Body work will be done over time, most likely very slowly.
This has easily been the best, funnest, and most gratifying thing I've ever done in my life and I have to thank my parents who've been very patient with my cars and especially my dad for being the friend who helped most.
