Out with the old rusty sh!t:





In with the new structural sh!t:

2x4 .120 wall, it will become my outer frame rail and something really solid to attach a cage too.

Yes Primer!




Got the last touches finished to get this thing out the door, the whole interior, trunk, undercarraige and pretty much everything that I've touched is now John Deere Blitz Black.....




And off to the Independent Speed Shop! Should be almost read to drive in a week or two. Thanks to Ryan at Disturbed Industries for the use of his trailer!

I also saw this build on another forum. Awesome job man! I too have a volvo 122 that will be getting a 1uz transplant. Just have to figure out the suspension first since the x-member sits really high and the engine will contact the control arms. I love what you did though...subscribed
