I am starting this thread to document the build of my recent acquisition of a car I am going to name Apollo. It was previously owned by a fellow out in Illinois and was sold to me via 914 LTD. From what I know It was a purpose built Auto X car, but only has about two hours of run time on the engine.
Here are the specs as I received it: Exterior Mods:

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hijacked.gif) Pls excuse the quick Hijack Ross but it seems a good time to mention this. I like your belt lay out for the omission of the PS pump and A/C. I mentioned this to you; I found that my method of removing the PS pump will NOT work because the geometry just isn't there. i.e., not enough swing in the tensioner from it's new angle. I will post this later in my thd but wanted to mention this in case anyone was going that route. Hijack over.
