So today the girlfriend and i decided to go check out a immaculate 97 Gst 100% stock and not one spot of rust. She ended up buying it and now she has joined the dsm club. She wants to do a basic 16g setup on e85 for now and also awd swap it this winter. So itll be a fun project to get her learning more about cars and what they are about.

This past weekend we got some time to check over everything. Put a new valve cover gasket on since the one that was on it was leaking like crazy. Also gave the engine bay a good cleaning and it turned out like it just came off the showroom floor. Also threw my front lip that i had on my old 2g on it. More to come
