I have wanted a csm for a very long time since I first saw some of Lilevo's first videos on youtube a while back. Last year i drove 5 hours to pick up this little rust bucket that I have fallen in love with ever since. Even through winter and rocking the 4g15 for almost a year now I can honestly say I love this little thing.
To start it off, I live in Wisconsin, Salt is incredibly abundant, This car is and always will be very rusty, The roof is absolutely atrocious, all of this build is with my money, I'm 17 years old and work at a sub shop while working on this and saving for culinary school. So to be brief and blunt, this thing will not be gorgeous or mint or even will I really take much effort in cleaning up the rust except in the wheel wells
Any help or criticism, always feel free to speak up, yell at me if something in this is stupid or wrong, please

The parts list itself has taken me quite sometime to build up, still being in highschool for all of this last year money was tight along with renting out a storage place for all of this with some friends.
The motor is currently sitting with the head off, just got the head work done. Doing BSE sometime this week, and then its all set to be assembled and timed. Hoping to get the swap done early July, and have the break in done and comfortable with it before the shootout.
Here are some random pictures of parts, motor, trans, ect.
My names Keith, let me know what you think of all of this, any input is welcome.
Oh and it needs more skirt!
