Parts Wishlist: Sequential CDi ignition system, Usdm indicator corner lights, genuine galant car cover, mint oem steering wheel, build number badge like the USA got on their vr4's. Oh and 25 spline transfer case upgrade along with dss axles would be sweet but not worth it.

Background: Bought the car in 2012 from original importer knowing nothing about tuning, performance mods ect, but I knew what it was and I knew what I wanted to do with it..4 years later and after 2 years automotive experience and as much researching as I could I put the old girl on stands. She's been there for almost two months and fast approaching putting bonnet back on. How many problems will I encounter when I turn the key? I'm sure there will be plenty. I made an Instagram account showing my build so far spindles_e39a
This car has taught me some lessons that I would have never learnt if i followed the crowd and built a Nissan or suburu. Saying that it's been stressful doing a build for the first time on a car that's has certain parts that cannot be replaced, I have put my self through hell trying to replace my centre hvac vent at a decent price, I eventually gave up and some one out there is laughing, but I don't care, I love my vr4 and if I had it my way I'd be buried in it.
Future goals would be getting the e85 sorted out along with a hx35( because who doesn't want 20psi @3500 rpm), and getting those 3kgt rear arms mounted properly.
