Car is looking good @Mac

I’ve seen it in stores. Pops moved to TX, so he switched to Shiner

I love Shiner Bock.

Awesome work MAC!
I swear everyone's family crest is that Lowenbrau logo!
I have to get a pic of ours and it is almost the same. Gotta hit up my brother for it, LOL

Just working on "finish" work now. Vinyling panels, installing seats and harnesses, bleeding brakes, alignment, etc...

I may have some new pics tomorrow.

I wasn't going to do this but here goes.

I have a 2008 Suspensions Unlimited Ultralight 2 seat mid engine car, 2.5 turbo Subi and a Mendi 2D. Love this car. It fits me to a "T". Tons of power for such a small, light car. Up to this point, I've only done a few small things to it since I bought it (2018). Replaced the HIDS with an LEDs, swapped the hydraulic steering for electric, a few other "cleanup" things on the wiring, plumbing, etc... I have been wanting to do an update to it and make it "mine". I've been buying parts for years and setting aside. I have tried a few times to get into a fab guy and do the body and a couple other things. I finally just did it. It took me out this season but here we are.

Here's the list so far:
- New body
- New computer/digital display. I'm going with a Fueltech FT550. It's a one piece unit. The digital display and ECU are one unit. It offers a lot of features and such. It offers some diagnosis on the screen to help troubleshoot. I'm not a nerd so I really don't know all specifics or how to explain it. I plan on learning as I go.
- Baja Designs lighting. Everyone knows I love night rides so, let's turn night into DAY!
- Switchpro
- New turbo manifold. Out with the old coated mild steel and in with the new stainless one.
- Total strip down and new powder coat, new hardware, all new wiring, all new plumbing.
- New harnesses. I'm going to probably stick with Crows as I do like them.

List of "Maybes":
- New seats. If I do, I'll do JetTrims.
- Been researching new/different engines. If I do anything else, I'll most likely go with a Honda 3.5 turbo. Big thing here is more repair options and hopefully...pump gas.
