GA Limited 818S Build Thread - 07FIREBLADE & The Wizzard

[07FIREBLADE]

I guess its time to stop being a troll and start my build thread since I just finished up my semester of college. This is suppose to be the ultimate father/son bonding project. This is the first kit car they we have built together, but not the first project that we have tackled to date. Started out working on motorcycles and Honda's while I was in high school. I bought a 06 WRX with the plan of eventually tearing it down in plans of making a 818 after college, but being impaitient and my fathers retirement fastily approaching we decided to pull the trigger and put down a preorder. Got hotlisted about 2 months after the list was announced and got bumped up to a early Feburary production date from mid June.

GA LIMITED
Start up company, my father and I made a few years back. We did bike restorations and one off builds. Had a few aero pieces replicated for my DA back in the day under this business.

THE BUILD
We are going to building a 818S and its chassis 127, being built in our garage on our spare time after school and when I can get my homework done. Updates are going to slow and few in between. I want to do updates when I ht goals. Since I have been a troll though I am already art way into the build and have a DMV appointment for June 16th, hopefully I can get the car up and running by then. Pics will be all coming from my iphone so quality may not be top notch, but we will see.

Bought off a kid from NAOISC, who got his car "joyridden" which ended up getting crunched pretty bad... Car started idle, reved freely would go into gear but couldn't be moved. Bought the car on pure faith and reputation.
