wow! makes me wonder what other sweet rides are on this site i havnt seen. keep it up, cant wait to see it finished, will be a very rare car indeed.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
looks like it is comming along guy. I'm sure you and your Dad can get this thing rolling. I have some pics of the underside of GT-fours if you need them for reference.

I'm glad to have seen it in person. Good luck >wink.gif>

if you need any other pics let me know and i'll try and get some shoots of my '4' for you to check out.......

hows your fuel tank conversion going ???

Life is for living, and you don't get a second chanceTake care now !!
I give you praise. Your the only person I'm admiring at the moment cause most ppl get the engine, an use a FF tranny. No thanx, go AWD! Update us some more!
how in the world are you going to put awd in it?

import awd parts from abroad?

use parts form a car like subaru?

or home-made?
