You may want to start your own thread, this one isn't going to be continuing for my car until some time in the future. My paint job got put on hold as well at least for a few years. Instead of a turbo and a paint job, I bought this instead:

Thanks! With interest rates this low and the deal we got on it, I couldn't pass it up. The car can wait

Re: Winter 2011 project: Turbo LSx

Very nice house Nick! I'm in the same boat, I'll still be wrenching on the cars but not as much since I just bought a brand new house, supposed to be completed by the end of December! The builder agreed to resod the front and back yard before we move in and you're right, can't beat the housing prices and interest rates right now!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm moving forward with my turbo build. Spring should see some positive manifold pressure in at least one LSx 'vert around here.

House purchases are nice, I picked one up last year. Nice to be able to finally do whatever you want to the place you're in.
