Yamaha SR1 build

I started this build a couple of years ago and finally got enough done to actually take it to an event with Vorra. Im new at this build thread thing so please be patient with me as I am a rookie on posting pictures on the internet.

I began the build with a friend of mine after attending the Lucas race at Las vegas in 2011. (damn thats hard to believe its taken this long) My buddy owns a fabrication shop in Livermore. They specialize in Play rock crawlers. This was to be their first race car.

as we got deeper and deeper into the build my buddies company took off on customer work and my project got left behind. So I decided to hire a company out of southern california to build the A arms and suspension. COD (Chad and Doug Mittag) They currently race in the Torc series racing a Pro-lite. I sent a deposit and delivered my car to COD. Thats when I stopped getting return phone calls. 6 months later and massive frustrations I drove to Southern California and got my car back. Here are some of the pictures of what I got for my $4500 deposit. I got no new parts from COD all of the parts were used and damaged. At one point thought I would never see my car again. we were unable to use any of the parts we received from COD. Beware doing business with these guys. Or just operate COD.
