One of our favorite projects is back with a small update. In the photos you can see the builder re-working the shifter. It had to be moved more forward and the linkage increased after the seats were installed. You can also see the continued work on the turbo plumbing. While repairing a rear wheel bearing he noticed the mounting method\/location will need to be changed. Building a completely custom vehicle such as this there are going to be plenty of setbacks. But given the builders smile in the previous update and the internet’s love for this project, I am sure it will be worth it.<\/p>\n
