New in Ohio

Hello all. Long time viewer, yet first time poster. I currently reside in Northern Ohio. Ive been enjoying this site for awhile and it has helped me greatly in my project. Im always looking to gain auto knowledge. As far as my vehicles, I have a couple GMs, a turbo Dodge, and an MGB as my current collection.

1980 Chevy Chevette - 350, T400 trans, tied chassis, etc



1987 LB9 Iroc-Z - current major project, saddle leather interior (is this rare cuz I cant find any parts for it..?)


1974 MGB - Restored Cruiser


2005 Dodge Magnum - Fully forged 5.7 based 392, T4 turbo, etc

First.

Welcome to the boards, glad to see another Ohio Member.

Second.

Chevette- Awesome sleeper huh
IROC-Z- Whats going on with that. Coupe too, NICE!
MGB- I've always wanted one, but couldn't tell you ¿why?
Magnum- Custom headlights? Projectors or Bi-Xenon? SLAMMED!

Third.

Will the IROC be ready for summer time? Maybe a cruise?

Thanks. The Magnum has projectors and everything is painted black. Kinda getting bored with it now though.

I hope to have the IROC ready for summer. The previous owner butchered the wiring and everything on the car really, so I wouldnt be surprised if I run into more problems than I already have. Its actually been sitting since 2001. I bought it without fuel lines and brake lines, bent tie rods, and some body damage on the door/fender. I found out about Hawks on here and they hooked me up with everything I needed. I have an extra door and fender that I need to get painted and then all I have left is the overheating issue. Replaced the tstat and hooked up the fans (not sure why they were unhooked) and I believe all thats left is water pump and/or head gasket just to be safe. Its one of my favorite cars and I will def be taking it up to Quaker Steak once its all done and hopefully Ill see you there.

Re: New in Ohio

Quaker is right down the street from me. I live right around valley view. Would take me 3-5 minutes to get there.

Im hoping I can get the IROC out this summer as well. Its been sitting since 2006 when I drove it 3 miles to my house. I can't see getting it out before June though. It sucks but I need a lot of parts still, one being a new 700R4.
