SixStarCars' 818S Build Thread

[SixStar]

We will be covering the building of FFR 818S #80 for Charles in St. Louis

Goal:
To build an 818S from one donor as close to the manual as possible while sticking to our client's budget.

Donor:
Our car was purchased through COPart in Denver. Didn't look too bad from the pictures, come to find out....

Not bad right?

Timing gears sitting on top of the engine never a good sign.

Not even hit that hard in the front, there was some protrusion into the engine bay that hit the side, very odd. But strange things happen in accidents. A word of caution. This engine will need several parts and a bit of work before it can be tested out, as always with crashed cars BUYER BEWARE!!!
