History: I am the third owner, purchased the car in 2008 in pristine condition with 29k miles. Caught the track-day bug and started the conversion at 49k miles in 2017. I’m now 71 y.o., eyes are going bad, knee and hip issues getting worse, etc., so the car is for sale.

Nice build! GLWS

 

Very cool build. Did you run your brake cooling lines from the fog lights? Guessing those are removed then?

 

Nice, I'm jealous of the adjustable front leaf springs.

 

Yes, fogs are replaced with inlet scoops in the same housing, extended in thru the front bulkhead to connect with ducts.
