    I started working on my project Grabber, but the sounds of my daughters swimming in the pool, changed my mind....I've got all winter anyways.

    Finally took it for a ride up and down my block....Don't want to go much further while i wait for my local shop to call when he has a little time to do an alignment....So far it feels great:thumbs2: 'cept for the tranny which is real temperamental about going into second gear....Moral, don't trust an ******* when he tells you his T5 is good....:(:tsk:

    Love the way it looks though.....

    That looks awesome. You should make your own thread so that everybody sees it, they might not all see it in this thread.

    I dont think he ever really did a thread about the car. just littl sneak peaks here and there. Come on Streamliner, make a new thread and share the build up and pics of the inside and engine bay too.
