Such an unreal feel coming from the car. I love it. If I get my shit together, I might be ordering some mounts...

Making some new stainless headers...

The drivers side is really tight so starting with the harder one.

New compared to old.

The third runner from the left is just a test right now and will change...

Will do man....I'll be hanging on to it for a bit...

I wasn't happy with how the header was going to merge together so I started over.... MUCH happier with how it is working now.

Yeah, I could only imagine. It's really great--even though it's not finished....taking an idea from your mind and making it a reality is such a beautiful thing.

Great job!

bummer.... A bit of traffic back up and someone was really close to me and then someone rear ended that person which in turn slid into me...

poor euro bumper
Image

Image

It's not tooooo bad, bumper is toast for the most part. Back of the trunk is pushed in somewhat and the truck lock doesn't release as good as it did before.

Could have been a lot worse. The other two cars had zero damage... probably thought mine was just a POS anyway.

Thinking about selling this.... If anyone is interested send me a PM or email jake@classicdaily.net

Either in it's current shell....another super clean black shell...or into something else.

Got something else on my mind and I can't keep them all.
