im super excited cuz im getting a nice 521 this weekend and i cant wait. ill post pics when i get the truck

did you got the pick up,pics,..............

i got it yesterday i will post pics soon

Congrats! Where are the pics?? lol

Sorry it took so long to get the pics, and they kind of suck beacouse it was raining to hard to get pics outside. But here it is! and thats why i was able to get the truck for $250 its got a clean title and the engine is a l16 I have a l18 that just sitting in another project thats running good. then i start collecting and making parts for my engine swap.

Nice find! Keep us posted.

im planing on doing either a vh45de or a vk56de swap in it and running a single turbo.

Wow thats quite the gain in power. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

ok plans have changed and now im looking for a vq35de and im going to run twin turbo's the vh45de just wasnt a worthwhile build for the money, its a great engine but the vq35de will give me alot more power for the money.

The VQ is no slouch in the power department, won't be a cheap build though haha. I'm anxious to see the truck start to come together!

what it looks like im going to do is put a rb25det in for now and they either put the vq in or get an rb30 block and build the hell out of an rb30. but for right now i should be starting the rb swap in the next 2-3 months as soon as i collect the parts and save a little cash but im getting excited allready lol

this looks like an awesome project man! good luck and keep us up to date!

ok im still trying to scrape money togather but i snapped a few better pics tonight, they arnt great but they are better.

ok i am in the process of moveing, the plus is my new place has a grage so now when i have time to work on my truck its gonna be right there. I will start the tear down and start body work on the fron clip so i can make my mold for the tilt front end. then im gonna smooth the firewall, but should i go steel and weld it in or go aluminium, or even carbonfiber. This is the part im unsure about. The engine plans are to bo stock with a turbo upgrade hopefully turbonetics or garett, and injectors and maby a intake. has anyone on here tried the ebay ones, if so are they better?

so i will be starting a new build thread for my 521 soon, i have been delayed beacouse of moveing and getting fired. so i will start tearing into it before christmas and i should make some good progress and quickly. I will be selling the l16 and the four speed in the truck with the webber soon so if anyone is interisted let me know.
