Project Drift Pig. Day 1 Progress.

Stripped most the front end to reveal the carnage of Drifting for a couple years, and cant lie, not looking too health under there.

Engine is resting on the cross member as Engine mounts broke and tore clean off, Chassis Front Legs bend badly to the left and supporting member has ripped clean off.
No wonder this car was dancing all over the place.
Lots of Fabrication work to create a new tubular front end and straighten, strengthening and replacing of the chassis.

That Garrett GT28 is the motivation to get it in, Dam does its build quality feel gorgeous, and much larger than the T25G or T28.
Rated to 360hp and reaching optimum boost efficiency at 1.5bar, I feel it's the right option for this CA.
