WOW. That paint looks nice. Are those black stripes running front to back on each side of the hood?
The Chicago forum members should schedule a meet once your car is rolling. I'd really like to see all this work in person.

I love 2JZ and this would be so unique swap, but f*** it. Living in Finland is complete bs in many ways, and one is building a car you desire.

Would really get alot wtf looks when pulling up with a 66mm single'd benz running E85 and +35psi boost.
