Mighty White

My New Chariot poverty spec 1.7 Low blow engine may have to stay for a few months but everything else should get done pretty quickly. haven't made a decision on engine yet may get a 2.0 8v while i am building a new engine.

Also swapped the rear beam for a five stud disc setup with braided hoses and five studded the front with V6 discs and callipers fitted my wheels and this is how she stands after a couple of days graft.

Re: Mighty White

I have a Gsi kit except front bumper lying around it will get fitted eventually but i am enjoying the sleeper look and the fact that it looks like a merit still although it doesn't sound like one anymore!! Probably gunna get my steelies banded with some decent tires.
