Re: MY PROJECT

took me about 3 hours to get it out and get everything cleaned up. get everything disconnected first, ypipe cat to trans bracket, torque arm trans crossmember bolts, etc etc. do all that **** first and it wont take too long.

Re: MY PROJECT

rust is in the rear drivers side floor pan.
i fiberglassed and painted it, we'll see how long it lasts.

im putting it back together completely different which doesnt help. i picked up a dash wiring harness from an 88 gta, the engine is from an 89 camaro and the trans is from an 89 formula. i got the holley commander computer system that i have to wire, plus figure out the dash harness. im putting together new carpet myself with what i can find at home depot, and prowling for decent 4th gen seats at the local junkyards. i already pulled a nice camaro dash i have to get to fit, cus my instrument cluster is from an iroc. so im having lots of fun haha.
