Man, I can't wait for the finished product. It's really coming along. I only recently stumbled onto Z cars which brought me to this forum when I tried to find out more. Like you, I'm also in the "states" (Mississippi) and would like to do a Vtec build. I've been thinking about the Monte Carlo kit, but I haven't heard back from Z cars yet. You've got some great skills. Keep up the great work! by the way, what size turbo are you using?

-Leland


Its a Bullseye Power Borg Warner S362. Look up Monte Busa here on the boards hes in Michigan doing a Monte Busa version but little difference.

Just came across this build. Looking brilliant so far!

I think your build is benefiting from the weather over there :dontgetit: . Us Brits have to sit in dark garages drinking tea and eating biscuits whilst we get battered with all sorts of weather…nothing ever gets done! ;D

Keep up the good work

Thanks for the compliments. I think so too Swanny Im about 1hr North of Los Angeles, about 1/2 mile from the beach so its a pretty constant 75. Makes for good car fixing weather.

Here is a teaser of the body kit.
Love it or hate it I like it, once finished it will not be like anything out there.

Hmmmm, I think I might actually like that, but I'm not sure....

The curve over the front wing needs to be worked on though, though it might just be the camera angle?

This part of it is soooooooo subjective that Im sure there will be people that hate it. But is what matters is that the owner likes it.

Love it!
I really enjoy doing that type of work. Are you doing the foam work yourself? Probably one of the hardest things on this size of project to making the other side symmetrical. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see the progress.
