    You can find the write up , but i'll copy paste everything over, just for you guys :2thumbs:

    Yeah hi..

    Most of you probably know me from somewhere down the road.. By road I mean the various pits/tracks around Melbourne.. haha.

    Just incase you don't, the names Benny, currently residing in the S.E of Australias finest, Melbourne. Currently in posession of three cars, one not worth mentioning, a black 180SX(too clean for track, the reason why I don't slide it.. .... well thats my story anyway, i'm sticking to it too! For sale btw.) and the cause of the blog, the good ol' 86 Levin Sprinter.

    So, I'm building it to be a pure track monster. A lightened, N/A car, that although I probably won't be allowed to drive when I get my license back, I will anyway. I'm undecided whether it will be pure circuit, pure drift or a combination of the two, as there isn't THAT much difference..

    It's going to be a long build, i'll be broke for many years to come, but that's the only way, right? It's going need ALOT of work, but it's got some great mods that I can work with, with a stock exterior/interior that I can do myself, good example of what I wanted, for the right price too!

    Pics can be found at that link, I may upload later, srs cbf atm.

    So.. I picked the thing up on Oct 1st. Bought it from a nice guy, lyndon over in Melton.. Hope I never have to go back, no offense to anyone out that way, but it's ages away from anywhere! Took me a while to load up the car with all the goodies that came with it... The 2-way the most exciting out of the bunch. Now as I have no license, my darker than I friend, Abu, who is referenced here agreed to drive it back to my mums for me..

    Sidenote: Melton.. Or just the west in general.. They make people stand out in the cold, wind, wet weather etc. to pay/purchase items at the BP!! I rock up with two cars, sprinter et 32, fill up both cars, walk over to the door, straight into it. They lock their doors at night.. WTF?? Theres none of that in the East... So much safer.

    Anyway.. Get back to mothers, the heavily tanned Abu gets out and I attempt to park it, but as luck would have it, I manage to overheat the radiator, no idea how I did it yet, but I to this day blame bry. Pulled out some stuff and had a quick look at the goodies, Whiteline Strut braces, brand new.. Sway bars, suspension.. Good package to start with imo.

    I'll get some pics later, but for now, the specificationz.
