Greetings
This has taken about 5-7 years to get off the ground but its about 90% complete and ready to get back on the road at this stage. Lockdown was the silver lining which had me finish off just about all the fabrication in around four weeks. Pretty much everything but the plenum was built entirely by myself. Goal of this is a sleeper, the bodywork does fit over the right hand side with minimal trimming but the pipes will have to be heat wrapped for protection.
Pictures. Got hundreds more from the build. Might chuck more up if people show interest

Probably alot more in here. Its been a mission that's for sure, almost 18 months just for the motor alone. Right now it idles like a bag of shit and needs to get off to the dyno. I had to take almost -75% off with the power commander to get it to fire with the large injectors. Hopefully an ECU flash fixes this. Does anyone have a flashing rig? Otherwise I will just use the dyno guy.
If I was to do this all over again I would have just brought a basic kit instead of going this deep with it. I'd love to build another but as a ghetto spec build, something filth as.
Hopefully you will see it out there on the roads soon and I don't bin it on the first corner or just flatout shit myself.
