boost project EG hatch w/duct tape (not for the boost)

ol Dusty 9032, pics from trips coast to coast. duct tape here, bent rim there. currently 575,000 and counting on this car, original motor. new motor build starting this weekend. I wonder if I can get this many mile from the new motor when it's built and boosted?

stayin faithful to the SOHC d. provided I actually get another z6 for the bottom end. I've had a few offers but nothings come outta them yet. I have a d15b that I wanna use the head from but will use the whole motor if I don't get a z6 really soon.

made a few other changes to it also for this year. going up a little in rim size, same sports bronze slips but 16X7 instead of the 15X6,5's I had. lost all the cf stuff but then I got a free damaged cf front lip that I'm gonna try and clean up to replace the broken abs front lip I have now. the cf duckbill has been replaced with a jdm long LED spoiler and I might change the corners again, they were amber, now white but I may go with the smoked amber and side markers this year but I need to get tires for the new rims, finish the boost build and my driver seat if getting pretty haggard. the pass side is just frustrating cause there's no quick release to get people in and out of the back. Next year, body work.

one more pic, taken on a closed circuit, not at 4am somewhere in the parries.

Awesome, its coming together. Can't wait for the turbo to go on.
Also, if you need any sort of help, or just an extra hand, I'd be glad to help, you got my number if anything.

not sure where I'll be doing the work yet, I'm still kinda the new guy at Toronto Honda so I don't know if my boss will let me do that much work on my car there yet.

new pic of how it sits right now. still need to fit and finish the CF lip, all the other CF is gone though. Not shown is the CF duckbill has been replaced with the long LED spoiler. Same rims as before but in 16's not 15's
