You plenium is some clean. I know NFLD is like NS for salt on the roads, and rust. But you must have polished it up. Are you installing a SBC this summer, or are you still debating?

You sure? It looks about as "West LA" as it could get.

Car looks sweet! The only thing I'd change is the Darth Vadar steering wheel. Picked up my Grant GT pretty cheap. Made a big difference IMO.

I didn't do it to begin with, the previous owner had that done, i think i'm gonna paint it back to black, or possibly orange, but i'd say black

Looks great with the exception of the dash. I would remove that paint as soon as possible. I wish I had a garage to store my car in, yesterday I got 8 inches of snow dumped on my car thats alot for my area in one night. I need to move farther south

Looks good, like the color, lots of potential there. Definately do something with that dash.
Let us know how the swap and new paint turn out

is that crossfire injection?? and is that what they consider a High output motor...


also about the iroc rims.. get this.. lol.. i called some dude at a JUNKYARD and he wanted 250 bucks canadian for each wheel, thats 1000 bucks, or 637 american.. and then he goes and tells me they have really bad curb rash and the clear coat and paint is coming off. so i call this other dude, (he didnt have any) but he said that he would sell them for probably 25 bucks.. LOL HAHAHAH BAHAHAHAHAHAH thats...

25*4 = 100

1000-100= 900

THATS A SAVING OF 900 FREAKIN DOLLARS

or...
in american..

16*4 = 64

637-64 = 573

THATS A SAVING OF 573 FREAKIN DOLLARS!!!!!
