Turbo GTC Build Thread
Sunday, October 17, 2010 7:30 PM
Well I'm going to slowly update this build thread. I'm hoping to get quite a bit done this winter as long as the cash flow is still there. My Budget for the car has been pretty low due to the fact that I have a son a new house and a new car. But it can be done.

Here is a look back for those who haven't seen the car.

Before I purchased it






The Day I got it.


And the start of it.















I needed another gauge pod so I started making this one. I haven't done fiber glassing for a while but its starting to come together. This is with one coat of filler roughed in with 80 grit. I ran out of 180 so i'll have to finish sanding tomorrow. Also waiting on a new Billet bov from hahn.


As for the build this winter I'm looking a getting a new intake manifold and tb, hp tuners, suspension, and from there I'm not sure. I'm looking towards performance of the car not a whole lot on looks.

Any questions, comments are welcome.

That should be quite the sleeper, I have usually never liked the cars I have seen in that color, but this one really has grown on me. its very nice looking, especially since it will be fast

The rims and hood that where on it originally didn't come with it. And the black 18's I put on it from my red car where to heavy
