Re: Finally got my 1st gen!

By "hack up a car", I did not mean to insinuate shoddy work. Quite the opposite, the builds I see posted and documented are very impressive. I totally understand taking a car that is in marginal shape and creating something from that basis. It seems that all the swapping requires extensive...
