Been a long time coming. Like to thank everyone for the help along the way. I have a good handful of threads from building the engine to brakes to rear ends. Some day I should prob sit down and make a build thread so y'all can see where I started from and everything I did to it. Nothing super extravagant but looking at the car makes a guy happy knowing he did it w his own hands. Yup, paint too. Theres Still quite a few things left to do but am hoping in a month or so to have it road ready.
Again, thanks for the guidance. Enjoy.

The car has just about every option from factory. 70k on the odometer, very clean solid car.
Looks nice man! Have you driven it with the TPIS struts? I have them on my Trans Am. Installed them back in 97 with some Eibachs as well. Car looked and drove just fine but there was something I didn’t like about them. Think they were soft on compression and stiff on the rebound. Considering I drag raced it occasionally they weren’t favorable for that. Street driving I had no complaints.

Yup, sure have. Love them. But nothing to compare them to.
