And the build begins....(pics)

[lovemyfs2003]

So some of you may have seen my pics and heard my story. If not here it is. Last year I bought my MSP and two day later the motor blew. The car only has 47k on it, throws a rod......AWESOME! So I have been waiting and saving to get the best build I can. I went with a company from my hometown just and hour and a half up the road. They build awesome ass cars like you wouldnt believe. So here are some starter pics and as the build goes on ill keep everyone updated.

I love Spring. Seems like more and more build threads pop up around this time! You should post a current mod list and what your getting done by ARFabrication.

they are tokico blues stock but the springs are different and im still not sure, the previous owner has not a clue
\the exhaust is 3 inches sounds like a ****** bat out of hell but again hahaha no idea....im trying to figure it all out. Im still trying to find everything out that was done so i can know for sure. But the last owner doesnt know crap about cars period. thats why the motor blew!....well partially
