Well i've got a lot of ideas for it atm
I'd say a fair chance it will get raced, the idea is to get into things with the bluebird, get more experience, if i dent the bluebird no big deal!
This will be full bare metal respray (in acrylic i'm thinking) sr20
still decided if i should go reversed 1600 x member with 240k struts, bump steer spacers and all that, just go out and buy a datsport kit, or have a go at building a 200b front end (a lot of work!)
It will take a fairly long time as you can see its a lot of work but its a good start with all the rust removed, apart from the surface rust which is no big deal

Looks like a good shell. Keep it covered up to stop any cancer setting in!

Looks like she was a pretty good stocker, not a bad platform at all.
You still keeping the other shell? or wanna help a fellow member get a move on with his!!!
and (sorry to hijack ur thread here) anyone knows of any shells around pm me.. need to get mine on the move!
looks tidy though, keep us posted. just a slow build like the other one?

I think ill end up using the shell and swap everything over but want to keep both sorry
It will be slower than the bluebird build if thats what you mean by the other one lol
Oh and it even came with a original owners manual
