It's been long...

Well after 1 year and 6 months my faux C2 Turbo project has some head way.

Took the pics today after fitting all of the MA Shaw parts that have been littering my garage for the past 18 months, I must say that Shaw has a great product...the fit is outstanding...EVERYTHING lines up perfectly.

So far the following has been done:

Turbo Tie Rods
Rebuilt Calipers and brake system
New torsions 21/27
New Bilsteins all around
Updated to C2 Interior
Taken to bare metal for repaint (GP White)
New Steering rack
New Carpeting
C2 Windows front and rear (not in yet)
Power window install
New seals (all-not in yet)
H4s
Much much more...

Basically long story made short...the car will be completely new with the exception of the body metal

It will be powered by a 3.3 turbo punched out to 3.5, in the process of a complete rebuild as I type this.

Maybe next summer I'll finally be driving it.

Kudos to Wayne, Pelican and countless members who have assisted me on the LONG journey.

Cool, do you wanna come do mine when you are done. Hmm, do I want something like your 3.5t or an NA 3.8?? Decisions, decisions.
