What racing are you doing?
Looks nice, are they AME tm02 wheels?

Beautiful work. Always like the idea of a fox body track car.

I might see you when you come over this side of Aus. I have a VN I am building for IPRA. I saw your car on Performance Forums, looks good. Fox body is probably the best base for IPRA.

I say you will, I plan for it to spend most its time over there once its developed. On paper the Fox is the way to go but it does have some short comings in the front suspension design
Where are you?

In Melbourne. I have done track days for a number of years, and started racing last year. I bought an old VC commodore to race in the VicV8 series. Thought it would be good if I had a better car. So now I have a VN with a 6.0l LS2 and 6 speed. Probably the better choice for IPRA on my budget. Spare parts cars are cheap. I bought a pretty good VN for parts, cost me $200. Drives really well. Someone modified the boot floor and under the passenger floor, so the $200 car will supply those bits of metal so I can return it to standard as per IPRA rules. I will race in VicV8's until the car is ready for IPRA. Around mid year I hope.

Looks like it will be a nice car when it's all finished.  Well done..
