Here is a complete list of everything done to the car from day 1:

There is well over $15,000 invested into this vehicle. It is so close to being track ready. It just needs someone who can give it some TLC and has a few extra bills to clean this monster up. If you have any questions please feel free to ask by calling me at 917-573-0504
