Well basically this is the story of this car. I bought this shell around summer 2003. The car was a total mess, it had trash piled almost to the ceiling, it smelled like crap. It had a dual cam motor that was raped of every part except the cyl head and block. This shell was a LX but I had a red DX that was smashed up but on the whole left side ( I didnt do it my cousin crashed it) Well the DX had a DOHC motor swap and some deicient suspension upgrades. All that got swapped over to that LX shell and started the never ending story up upgrades. It eventually got turboed and dressed in jdm bodyparts and accessories. Then a few years later I came upon a 4wd then eventually gave up on the FWD and swapped everything to the 4wd chassis.
So this shell sat in my moms back yard completely raped or everything for about 2 years. Then Mike (Pumer) ended up having to trash out his egt and looking for a clean shell to swap everything over to. So he ended up buying it and the car is getting its 3rd rebirth.
I built the car for him and we replaced just about everything on the car except the suspension bushings. We added a EGT front bumper for a more sleeper look. Its eventually getting repainted.
