So I have been slowly building a 95 GSR from the ground up.
It started off when I had the old 9 second setup lying around the garage:lol:
Then a cheap 95 GSR was up for sale with a blown engine so I snapped it up.
Then I spent around 50 hours stripping it down to a bare shell, brake lines,harness etc.
Then it was off to the paint shop and it was stripped down to bare metal and there was no accident damage or roof rust.
A quick coat of yellow(just for something different)

After it came back from the panel shop we started to re build it.
I bought some genuine evo front guards, Brand new evo 3 side skirts,rear pods, front bar and bottom lip, rear e3 screen and wiper and the evo bracing around the strut tower.
The evo recaros went in and then it was time to start putting my old engine set up in.
The choice was made to run E85 fuel as It wasnt my daily driver.
