nice start keep it up

Imarvin240 · 11-26-2011, 02:04 AM

Im assuming you know how to weld, do to the welders mask. Why dont you get rid of the bumper bar and make a bash bar that isn't blocking as much of the intercooler? Either way, great job so far.

c_mancuyas8 · 11-26-2011, 02:46 AM

^ Eventually Ill do tube the entire front. Im actually hoping someone will hit me up with a bash bar for sale lol.

Haha yes I did. How'd you know? The g's chapter had ended lol and the 240 is so much easier to work on.

Danb · 02-01-2012, 11:28 AM

Nice! Glad its still running strong! You need part let me know I got loads from the extra engine.

waxball88 · 02-01-2012, 09:22 PM

Word, thanks man. I got an engine sitting on the floor in my garage already. I had a parts car at one point so i'm pretty stocked on parts. But good looking out.
Don't happen to have a spare set of headlight lids do you? I'm working on this, but i have a V2 i'm going to attempt.

Pm me if you're interested in the project and i'll send you some renderings, i'm always down for bouncing ideas around. Don't want to fill your thread up!

Walperstyle · 02-01-2012, 09:44 PM

"At KA-T. org, we thank all of you people that swap to SR. We enjoy getting free or cheap engines." I've got 4 heads, 3 engines. Total cost to me, about $300.
