As the title reads this is my build off thread. First this is what the car looked like when I picked her up in 2011, she was on conceinmeent.
 Oh she was beautiful in her 1.8 glory. The car had 4 owners and all the paperwork to include the window sticker. Since owning her I have put over. 30k miles on her. That is more than the previous three owners combined. I have driven her through snow and rain. Earlier this year the engine went from 0 r.p.m. To turned off the ignition when it climbed past 7k, it was too late. I spun the bearings and made some round holes oval. Andy. |

So today I am going to attempt to finish one wheel for the 5 lug conversion. I ran into a slight problem with one of the screws, but it's been soaking all night in PB Blaster. Now when I go out there hopefully it will have penetrated enough to back out the last screw. I am doing small tasks to really help get me motivated. After a trip to Tangerine Racing this past weekend, and gettting a well needed shot of motivation. There are some changes being made to the otgional plan, the power plant will be a Subaru 2.5l N/A engine with transmission. I am saving the 2.2 for the yellow bomber.
