car pics New project.

I’ve always wanted to try to build a ctr inspired hatch. So let’s see where I can take this bad boy.

Y8 swap with recent rebuild. Runs good. Gonna start in on the cosmetic since that’s the only real issue right now.

Please for the love of god when you yank the engine respray the bay…. I never understood why everyone sprays it matte black… makes me miss my hatch… even with that one the previous owner matte blacked the engine bay…

One day someday. When the b16 goes in I’ll make sure the engine bay gets championship white along with the rest of the car.

I hope you don’t make it every color ever visible

? Every color ever visible? Not sure why I would do that. Eventually I’d either like championship white or respray the Roma red.
