Thanks for posting the pics, great to see more involved with the AWD swap. I'm really digging the two tone paint you did, looks fantastic. Now all the car needs is black wheels to go with it. Keep us updated, and if you have any AWD questions I'm sure you know which forum to go to.

Good to see another new member that recognises that we are nice and approve of your newest project car! :lol: Keep those pics coming cause we feed like night vultures on that sort of thing. Any questions, just ask away, and most importantly, enjoy what we have to offer here. 8)

P.S. Is that an original Turbo car or ....... ?

:) "...i can say the guys are so much nicer on here than on the sr20 forum..." Well, you sure got that right! The car looks great. I'm still a season away on my conversion. How about a pic of the front support? About that "black chrome", I just tried it with my source on my master cyl. and clutch cyl.. He didn't have a specific "black chrome" so I told him to mix gold and black. It came out more "root beer". Not as good, but nice anyway.
Now you'll have to take the car up to the Pagoda and give it a good downhill run! (For those who don't know, the Pagoda sits high in Reading with a helluva twisting downhill, like Lombard St. in San Fransisco.) Good luck!

to answer the ?'s its a 1.5 manual with a super straight body and only a little surface rust on the roof on top of that the interior is pretty dahm clean too. The nice part is while i'm building the motor up and power coating the suspension parts i can drive it around and save money on gas

Welcome to the board!

Just be aware that not all of us are so nice... :axe:

j/k we just weeded out or re-Neducated all the internet trolls that have stopped by in the past.

We're still working on the Cap'n. :wink:
