    Project parts swap.

    Gunna start a build thread but it's more like a rebuild. I got an 89 Fox hatch at the end of summer and decided it would be a better chassis to put my turbo stuff in. So decided to start taking it down after I took out the trans at the track rental. Here's the car.

    Haven't got to much done. Both towers are welded and in filler that's about it far as work goes. But did collect some parts smooth approns came in from lmr bought a 97 rearend for the disc brake set up took all the brackets off and sand blasted and painted them. I'm going to probly rebuild the calipers since there off. And going to do the cut and flipped brackets to keep stock length axles.
