Respectable goal.
Any measurement as of this point?
I'm looking to corner balance and weight mine in a few weeks. I've gutted a lot, but not nearly as much as you did LOL

Procustomize with the thread photo bomb! lol Super jelly of that gut / roll cage.
Procustomize, you need create a front splitter for the stock nismo bumper. V3 needs to be retained!

+1 on a good recovery. The car can wait, so make sure you take care of yourself.

Yeah, focus on taking care of yourself first then worry about the car later. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Most likely previous injury from sports, been lifting a lot lately. Doing heavy dead lifts and pop, thats all she wrote. Something I do every week, nothing out of the norm.
