New guy introduction

Just showing my face and saying hello. Trying to figure out how this forum works. Anyways, I have a 89 Iroc Z. It is 99% original save the exhaust, cam, and 175 wet system ZEX fogger. Just getting back into fixing it up after about 6 years of sitting. Headed to the shop soon to get some Wilwood brakes and a Hotchkiss TVS. And hopefully a 12 bolt Strange rear end. And then when funds get back up from that, a TCI 6 speed and a LS376. But who knows how long that will be...

Hoping to make it to a meet up in the near future. Looking forward to this project and sharing the experience, and hopefully learning some things along the way.

Rob

Thanks. Happy to have found this forum. So far it has been very helpful at helping me spend money... And of course the other information is great too.

I had my subframe connectors installed by him. He does really good work. Really cool dude to work with.

Next time I take one of my cars up the grade to T.O. I'll let you know. Let me know when you bring your car down here.
