Track car winter project

by v6 steve » Sat Nov 27, 2010 8:31 pm

As some of you may know we ( the scottish mod) have been talking about building a rear wheel drive calibra track car, and for the last year we have been sorting parts and info so we can do it. Well last week we stripped the calibra shell and today we got the donner car down the garage and got the power plant out

note the easy access front pannel

note the snow till on the car hours after it was put in the garage
