I finally got the car running last month. Here's some pics....
looks like new, got any interior pics?
It's not as nice in person. Both front fenders need paint due to stupidity and low qaulity GM paint. I don't have any interior shots but it's red leather and is pretty clean. The car has 60K on it.
Here's one just for Alex....
I also wanted to say that this car wouldn't have even been close to running without a ton of help from Dave and Scott. Dave spent hours and hours chasing electrical gremlins and getting the stuff I can't physically do.
Thanks, again, guys.

Looked really good last time I seen it. Glad to see its running. Now maybe next year we can get you out to a few events with it.Originally posted by Acceld Z

Happy to do it. This winter we shop for an AirGap and a double pumper for that thing.
I'm just glad to see it out of the back yard with 4 wheels on it and a heart in it's belly. It's been long overdue.

I can't wait to see and hear that thing on the street. The pictures do do it justice, it is that nice in person. The interior is immaculate. I'm betting it'll be quicker than your old GTA was.
Man, we should all try over the winter to set-up a whole Ontario meet or something for next summer. There are so many nice cars out here to see and hear.

It's that engine with new properly set-up valve springs, new injectors, and intake gaskets that don't hang a 1/4'' into the ports. It should be quicker than the GTA if it ever runs right.Originally posted by 91wtROH17's
