This is a student project car, it will never be the prettiest car, or the shinniest. I'm building it to try to get the max performance out of stock parts and staying as close to S.C.C.A.'s rules for production car category. The term student project means that the budget is tight, so the majourity of the mods and fabrication will be done by myself.

I purchased this car from a local seller who claimed everything was in the box and the car simply need to be put back togethor. The Body had already been sandblasted and primed, but had sat outside for some time, meaning it had some surface rust but nothing majour. Being a student and having lots of time and patience, I purchased the car. Personal labour is much cheaper then buying a nice car, but a TON of work.
