I got it on friday night and I love it already. It needs alot of work but it is just so much fun to drive.

KA24 from a 96 240Ground control coiloversFront adjustable camber platesfull exhaust (it may be too loud for me, but well see)280z front and rear brakes

The interior is bare. no carpet, door panels or anything. Just a dash and a steering column and a 5-spd coming outta the floor

Ill get pics within the next day or twoI drove down to Fremont yesterday morning to pick up front and rear bumpers and a front grill. So those will be going on tomoro.

Im stoked about it. Pics tomoro hopefully

PS: The pic in my avatar is the car, kinda hard to see though...

Welcome to the addiction of 510s. Your first mod needs to be lo-jack.
