freind is parting out a 92 rs with glass t-tops, so me and my father are cutting off the roof and replacing it with mine.
My father said he used to do it for poeple in his auto body shop.

Iroc stock rims.
It was only 250$ and it came with tires, and there pretty wide, so i like them, but in the future i want the 02 ss rims.

or fix her up.

If your not happy with the car sell it, if u enjoy driving and it and what not keep it. A car doesnt have to be fast to enjoy it..

and if u wanna swap v8s...just look for a nice solid v6 car like your car now...id build the suspension and interior in the mean time till the v6 goes then just plop a nice v8 combo with a tranny and ur good to go.
