89 Formula w/LS1 M6 swap project SOLD!!!
It pains me to do this, but the time has come for someone to finish my project. Lots of time and parts have gone into this, but I would like to move on.
The car is solid and apart from surface and use rust, the car is pretty good. It has been in an accident which CarFax shows. The drivers side front corner was damaged so I put on a new fender and bumper. Shortly after, I bought a newer daily and the LS1 swap began. It's not quite finished. The car runs, needs to be tuned (idles ok, WOT is pig rich) and I have been installing late model Formula parts. I have the bumper and am working on putting the washer bottled under the nose filler plate. The hood needs a little glass work. I have the rear wing to complete the conversion. The two issues with the car that I know of are; after the engine warms up, there is a subtle whine coming from the clutch area and the blower fan doesn't work. I think the whine is the TOB or the input shaft bearing, to be honest, I'm not sure. Please feel free to ask questions, I'm sure I forgot something. More pics will be added too
I am looking for $7k as is. I am now willing to part it out.

Re: 89 Formula w/LS1 M6 swap project
I am a good long time friend of the owner and have always loved this car! There has been a tremendous amount of time and money invested in it and it should be noted that all the body panels (outside the fender, hood, and nosecap) are still in 100% original factory paint and the car is incredibly solid!! If things were going differently in my life right now, i'd buy it in a heartbeat and finish it up.

Bump.
I am willing to part it out. Once the engine and trans are gone, I'll work on the rest of the car.
