I'm hoping the car is in the 2700 range when done, if it's even lighter even better!!

The kit looks great but why a T3 flanged turbo instead of a Vband setup? Looks great either way! I am just a Vband swinger since I have a T3 and we always envy what we don't have!

Here are some more useless photos for the weekend. How the car sits as of now, a lot of progress should happen next week.







tucked a lot of the wiring away and relocated the power steering reservoir to the firewall.

My guess would be to install the front bars

Engine bay is looking good Paul. Sorry if they are duplicates, Austin sent me to take photos before I checked the thread... but here they are anyhow
















So far, cleaning up some wiring, tucked the power steering res in the back, nice aluminum 3" STM intercooler pipe, cleaned up the COP... Nothing "MAJOR" but it's all the small details that really stand out. That's how STM gets down






When it's totally and completely done, I'll try and match the photo angles exactly from the originals.

Just an update on the cage the main hoop back is all done and welded up. Austin started on the front half today and had some fairly solid progress.





hopefully the cage can be all finished and welded up by the weekend
