The story

I have always been involved with racing and building vehicles. Started racing at the age of 8. Raced for many years until I had a very serious crash just a couple weeks after I turned 17 yrs old, was knocked unconscious for 6 hrs. Tried racing for a few months after, but I didn't enjoy it the same after. I made the decision after to start working on my first vehicle and modifying that. It was an awesome 1978 El Camino Ss with a 350 in it. From there, I built multiple vehicles, including a crazy, 6 cylinder swapped, caged, full jdm 05 Subaru Impreza. After I finished up that, I decided it was time to try something different. So I decided to import something from Japan, and start an all new build. After much consideration, decided on a rhd, twin turbo, 4 wheel steering Aristo. Most of my builds have been more over the top. This time by, wanted to make something simpler, cleaner, I could take my kids with me in. More of a sleeper, wanted it to look clean, but also go under the radar and not get harassed by the police. Something I could really enjoy. It's been a fun build so far, but still lots to come, builds are never done. Right?
