current project...relocating stuffcleaning up the engine baynew custom dash

future projects...most intense weber carb that the motor can take that is still legal in my autocross classcustom torsion bars (reduce roll)custom fiberglass leaf springs (lighten, reduce roll and help get power down)most aggressive cam the motor can handleport and polished KA headlots of unnecessary body parts removedpossible 'in bed' wing if it ends up being too tail happy at the track275/35/15 hoosier a6's

Ok here it is, I had posted some pictures, but I got some during the day, not to good really, this just before I got stuck in a wash out, and had to be pulled out... LOL, Anyway since I have got it, I got it running!!!! That is the biggest thing... Had to replace carb, Removed back glass and side glass, new custom exahust, New coil... Just stuff here and there... Planing on lifting a bit... and fabbing up a snorkel mainly for looks, going to change up the Xo Skely roll cage some... But mainly just a toy I hope to add some better pictures soon.











Hope this doesn't make to many of you cringe to much.... LOL this thing has been through the ringer...

Adding Video, Don't know if this will work

how'd you go with putting pathfinder seats in there? did you need to do any fabrication?
