History

This is my first car. i bought it from the original owner when I was 15 years old in the summer of 98. I drove the car until 02 when I found my 87 Iroc. Summer 2004 the car went under the knife so to speak. I've sunk countless amounts of time in to this car so far just getting the body in perfect shape and I still have more to go until I'm satisfied. As of right now it's still a project in motion. But it's coming along nicely and I couldn't be happier with the turnout so far, except maybe the lack of money to make things go a little faster.

My plans include an LS2 and T-56 (waiting for DOD technology), a 4th gen dash swap as an alternate to expensive aftermarket gauges(hey you've gotta like what you've gotta look at, right?)a 12 bolt rear to handle the power, and a custom built turbo setup for the LS2. I'll be getting Spohn's LSx conversion parts: k-member with lsx mounts, t-56 swap tranny crossmember with mounted torque arm. Also I'm highly impressed with Kandied91Z's air ride system and am thinking about that as an option later down the road. Also wanting to do flush door handles like deadbird, I need to figure that out in the next couple months. So many ideas, not enough time and money to implement them. Nothing is installed in the car it's pretty bare just a roller right now until I can get the rotisserie built so I can do the underneath of the car.

Thanks for looking!
will be updated as progress continues
