Got my self a factory Berlina turbo auto, all matching numbers and Im goin to go low 8s Doing the mini tubs this week, will have the entire car seam welded by the new year, and by feb I'll have my moly 6pt cage with dual intrusion bars, taxi bar, X in the roof and X in the rear Been speaking to McDonalds bros going to run a 9inch with the tubular adjustable upper and lower control arms with coil overs and the goodies in the centre Than get a banging glide built Brakes not sure yet but will need a chute And going to get a master piece from RIPS NZ under the engine, spoke to him and going for there short block that they ran 6.99, and for more protection going to put in billet main caps an extra 4 grand but he says 9000rpm and 1300 hp plus And club rego for those nice days How long she takes is different story, I'm saying 3 years by the time I've got it all sorted and can afford it Ill try get pics up when I've finished the tubs

That motor alone will be worth 40k plus-their 10 second packages alone are around 15-20k. Results speak for themselves though. Would love to see pics if this is actually getting built.
