So i have had my d50 for a daily driver all summer, and i just purchased this fwd turbo auto laser for 550 bucks. So im going to be swapping the motor and seats in the truck. After i get the motor in and running im going to start the mods. Here are some beginning pics that i took of both cars. just to kinda see what they looked like before. Ill keep updating as i get further and further.

QUOTE (black92_tsi_awd @ Feb 5 2007, 06:43 PM) Yeah, RWD trans pulling is a hell of a lot easier without having to mess with the damn axles. Should be an interesting project!  Keep the updates coming! You plan on dragging it when you're done? Or is it going to be just a DD? Oh im going to race it. Im just curious whats going to give out first. i heard the tranny is weak but people have made 500 hp with them before they give out. so i guess we will see. Im not really sure what im doing for tranny if this one takes a crap. but if the rear end goes out ill be going to a disc break 8.8 ford rear end. I think that will be plenty for what im going to be doing. -------------------- WWW.DRAGSOURCE.NET
