I fabricate whatever I can myself because there are few aftermarket parts for these cars, however I enjoy the fact that they're so easy to acquire in junkyards and craigslist, and are fun cars to work on overall. This is already my third one and it's going to be a pretty mean build once I'm done. A lot of the things in pictures is temporary, to at least get it on the road so I can then go over them and do what's necessary. Also, it's going to be turbocharged soon as well, but it will be NA for a few months until then.
