The Blue gO_0n Build?

Well I picked my goon up a little over a year ago in March. Did a manual swap and put a L20 in, The L20 shortly after that took a shit. Went back to the L16. I am now in the process of gathering all the parts I need for my KA swap. I have a pretty clean KA head and am picking up a rebuilt block sometime next week.

I don't really have time to explain all the details, So I will just list everything that's been done.

Engine and Tranny: L16, Weber, Matchbox, and dogleg 5 speed.
Suspension: Shortened 280zx struts with MR2 Kyb agx inserts, Egay coil sleevs, 4" blocks with 3* of angle for the rear, and monroe air shocks.
Wheels & Tires: Advan A3a 13x6 +6.
Interior: Mostly stock, Mr2 seats, Grant wood wheel, and some really thick Volvo door seals.

I will let pics tell the rest...Tried to list them in chronological order as best I could.

The day I got it.
