Well I just payed up for our first race at thunderhill, thought I might as well put all the stuff in a blog to document the build.
To start it off the car we found for this glorious race is a 1985 mitsubishi starion/conquest with the 2.6 liter turbocharged motor. Picked up for $200 with a blown head gasket, but even then running on 3 cylinders it was able to do some sweet donuts. We trailered the car first down to redwood to store at derek's house, then it moved back up to my father's house which happened to be down the street from where we bought the car. Our original plan for the theme was to paint is as a mitsubishi zero from world war II, going along with the brand and everything. Although recently I was getting worried about that not being very original, and it would turn into another 'police car' style theme. We were thinking after that of dressing up as classic GI joes and creating the GI joe humvee, missile launcher on the rear included. Wherever we go with the theme, this blog is supposed to document the build all the way through, enjoy.
The car has since been nicknamed Joseph Stallin
