Highly Modified R53
Does anyone on here know what exactly is being done to this beast? I'm guessing turbo swap?? This build looks pretty serious

I think that's a walk-in freezer conversion. I can see the condensers out front, and it appears the interior has been stripped to receive the layers of insulation.

Cheers,
