some know my old rust dodo brown RTwagon i had two years back and was sadly totaled by a bad driver in a snow storm. well i came across another one same dodo brown but this one is 2wd and auto all stock and ran great.
well now for this project i wanted to kill a few things off my list so will this project will get a K24a4 and AWD i was talkin to a guy over at hasport and he is doing te same on the side for his own project so with me and my buddy who has a fab shop makeing turbo manifolds we are going to get this going.
