did a little bit today, put the exhaust on and some other things that are not visually significant

It hangs too high (touching) as well as its a little short. I ordered some kartboy extra long exhaust hangars but the shortness i can deal with for now.

just a cool picture

exhaust isnt centered either, i just kind of put it on to see if it fit, those new hangars will make things look way better. Hopefully it retains that angle though, i think it looks pretty badass

This is an awesome project and it looks like you've done a great job. Someday I'd like to do something similar to a 22b buildup of an RS. Cant wait to see the final pics (and maybe video?)

new rims would be sweet, however i dont really have the money right now. maybe when its starts to dry up, ill invest in a set of nice wheels with summer tires. these tires are pretty thick, good for rain/snow

also, eventually there will be a decent length film that i will be making to present for my senior project. however, along the way ill post up videos of startup and that kind of stuff
