Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

Well, I'm looking for a cheap shell.. to do a 3 rotor swap. I already have all the motor stuff and body parts. Only think I really need is a shell with all the wirings (minus engine trans harness).

I don't know why I didn't think about this before but I'm now thinking it.

Car will be completely painted and I'm currently debating about the color. I'm thinking either Alpine white, Silver of some sort, or just go crazy and do something weird.

Help me find a shell please

Just because I can't wait to see how your 20b project is going to look..... I'll give you my FD as a shell

alpine white, nothing too crazy please.

Herblenny

Sweet!!!

Well, looks like I'll be picking up the shell after SEMA.. I'm currently talking with the local fabricator (MPFab.com) about building a V mount set up and a new method of latching the hood.

Once I get the car, I'm going to spend the next month working out the wiring to get all the ABS/PS/AC/Heater/SRS/Radio, etc taken off and simplify the engine bay and inside.
I'm planning to just run the Defi DSSC to monitor all and that's it (no extra gauges).

This will be the last FD I'm going to build in my life...

Phil, I assume you are building a track car?

If you are looking for a shell still and are looking to do a track car, I have the silver FD sitting in storage currently.

I don't think I'll be as hard core track guy as you but more so once in awhile track car just to see if I could kill myself in

Right now, I'm also building my SSM FD.. which I'm finally suppose to get my built engine next weekend... but before that, I'm detuning my MB back to more weekend car and long distance car, and get my SSM running with a new engine/brakes/ interio... and then the 20B FD... which WILL be the last FD I'm going to build. AFter that, I'm just going to cruise around, goto different rotary events, do some track days, and then try to buy a GTR as a daily.

Beautiful car! awesome build

Herblenny

Thanks Chip! I'll keep you in mind when I get rid of this

John, I'm serious. This will be my last extensive FD build and now I have a goal of 1 year. And with help of several local shops doing different things, I think I should achieve my goal.

Morgan Performance Fabrication (http://www.mpfab.com/) - will be doing the custom V-mount and few other fabrications.

Goolsby Customs (http://www.goolsbycustoms.com/) - They will be doing some awesome paint and body work (If anyone going to SEMA, you guys need to check out their cars).

Chase Bay (http://www.chasebays.com/) - Will be doing some brake line work to eliminate MC and ABS..

And my collection of parts from past 5-10 years will go into this car.


Thanks!

Finally got my engine from my builder over the weekend..







Ported 13B-REW block for 13B-RE LIM.. This is going in my silver FD with RZ tranny and new 99 twins.

I also picked up my MS-01S wheels from the powder coating guy. Will post pics of the wheels when I get them on the car.
