Decided to take the car full racecar. Stripping all of the interior harness down to just the bare track necessities and prep it for a roll cage and paint

Picking up a new motor on Wednesday

Oh my, you have become a full track tard! I think going to the track changes a person's brain chemistry!

Quite the big step but I am pretty excited about it. It's been something I've been pursuing for a while now.

Right on brother, if you are going to do it then do it big. I look forward to your progress and a much better ZDayZ 2017!

He better take care of this motor!

Update. I guess I'll let the photos speak for themselves. Tomorrow should be the day I can get rolling again

The engine bay is painted pearl white. Interior will be painted the same as well after 10pt roll cage and the exterior a nice custom blue metallic.

I have also tucked the engine bay harness just to make servicing easy. Doing a nice bash bar and splitter bar extension for extra support. In just 6 days this is how far me and a buddy have gotten. So much happening at once I can't believe it only took this long. I am constantly making last minute decisions but we are knocking them out like it's nothing. Can't wait to show you guys some more updates.
