    Giving birth to the beast...

    Well, im sure some of you remember, but I bought a Florida 90 LX with a fucked tranny for $400.00. The car has no rust what so ever on it, so im swapping my motor and all my other crap into this car. Since I have no time constrainsts with the swap this time, im actually going to document the whole thing *gasp!* via photos and words. Ill get some pics of the car itself this weekend and update this thread as I get stuff finished.

    Yes, i know this thread is worthless right now, but not for long!

                Yeah, im glad I never went through with that. Well, i sorta did, i sold all my JDM crap, only to turn around and buy most of it back again. Minus the trunk spoiler, G-square grill, ect. Least I dint sell the motor! Only down side to this is whole thing is, no more sun roof. Damn, thats gonna take some getting used to.

                On the upside though, I can make sure I do everything right this time and take more time! Ill finally get a chance to put my Greddy timing and balance belts on, remove all the P/S stuff, tuck the engine wiring harness out of sight, ect.

                Anyways, thanks for the support guys, im picking up the car on friday and ill snap some pics then.
