Background
I found my car in a local autotrader with an ad that says-needs engine work.  I went to see it, and it was clean, only thing was that I had to tow it home, as it had a rod through the block.  I took it home, dropped a jdm motor in it, and started work on it to what it is today.

Writeup
All I can say is that building this car has been a great experience over the past 5 years.  Now that its finally coming together, it feels so good, to see others admire your work and what you put into it makes it all worth it in the end.  When I drive my car, it feels like im on a whole different level and it sure gives you a big boost in confidence and self esteem!

Future plans
For the future I would like to upgrade the turbo to a larger t series turbo and tubular manifold(t66ish sized), and maybe get my sparcos rewrapped in something different-maybe suede or leather or something.
