Background/Plans

This car has become a forever project with no clear end-state. Its sandbox for me to learn on, more than anything else. The mods and repairs are sometimes over-thought, over-engineered, over-spent, or quick, it really depends.

When I took ownership over a decade ago, the car was already in a fairly rough state. As time has gone on, I've dug into every crack and crevice, I've found a car that has more potential than it should for it's age, but its needed a lot of care. It can never be a stock, by the numbers car again, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Its at the all-to-common crossroads of the street or track focused build. Still has a stereo, but no AC and the rear seats are uninhabitable with a harness bar. It's got lightweight wheels and body panels, but the rear wing is more show than go. Hopefully a vision will come into focus, but whichever way it goes, I still plan on learning as I go.
