I have a big *** build post over on the grandfather forums (GVR4.org). I have had 379(1000) for almost two years now and last thanksgiving I finally set it on stands and commenced with the complete rebuild of the car. I have gone over it inside, outside, underside, every side I can hit. I won't get into it too much here but these are the before and after pictures of just the engine bay.

This is what I started with. A barely running 1992 GVR4.



And 5 months later I now turned it into this.



I have rebuilt the entire drivetrain, LSD 4 bolt rear, 4WS delete, ABS delete, shocks, springs, bushings, ball joints, subframes, arms, 5 lug swap, steering, everything. Surfaces have been coated with rubberized spray on, Engine bay stripped and painted, most of the interior replaced. Motor runs 1G rods, Evo VIII pistons, 3g lifters, ACLs all around, ARPs all around, Evo valvetrain, new as much as I could get. Once it's officially back on the road it's going down for the Custom FMIC and IC pipes, similar to the IC I have on my Evo right now. Last thing to get are proper offset wheels for the 3000GT brakes and to rebuild the tranny/Rear diff/transfer case.

It's been fun, mainly since this wasn't my first time doing something like this. Anyways, figured the Evo guys would appreciate it more than some other people who shall remain nameless.

Link to the GVR4.org build for anyone who likes a ton of pictures and alot of documentation.
