Mornin' yall'!

I recently joined the forum because i heard its a nice community do i would like to post my car up,
first off ill introduce myself, my name's luke and this is my 180sx build!

This all started off about 2 and a bit years ago when i finall done something about getting a 180, I went and got myself pre approval for a loan then after i couldn't find a 180 right for me, the pre approval fell through then i had to save when i hit enough money and this 180 shell popped upI thought it was the ultimate oppourtunity to start something big.
My initial goal was to make a track car that i would register so i can drive it on a time to time basis where im at in this slow apprentice wage driven build is i just had it registered and its still stock and have a s*** load more to do to it.
If this post is enjoyed by you leave me a reply and ill continue to provide everyone with updates on how all is going :)
so far i had put alot into a bare shell such as:

Re-conditioned the steering rack
bought a half cut with a redtop sr20
r32 gtr seats
aftermarket aero mirrors
BC gold coilovers
tomei poncams
gktech suspension arms
Widebody (25mm up front 30mm at rear)
excedy heavy duty clutch
tomei ECU (found in shell when purchased)

still more to go its small but enough for the time being it had a respray i did myself at work its a gm European colour called rootbeer,
things im still waiting on to buy:

Upgraded turbo
550cc injectors
fuel rail
front mount intercooler
kaaz 2way
a set of Rota Grid R's

tomei valve springs

and some lil fiddly bits i could go on forever about now some snaps of the kart enjoy :)
