Default Hey guys!

Well i picked this up about two weeks ago as a project car. the guy before me had it with the intention of just using the tranny but never did and it just sat. got it for 500 bucks (that includs the car, a brand new engine stand, a small jack, and the tow to my place ) anway....heres some pics. i have alot of plans....hopefully my wallet is large enough










it has since been washed, the motor is already to pull, and the interior is out of it....im lookin for some black 4th gen leather seats for the front if anyone has any.

anyway....thanks for lookin...later!

Indeed, that has a LOT of potential. Mind telling us your gameplan?

Welcome to the site BTW.

thanks for the comments guys...much appreciated....

as for my game plan....something like this...

i was thinking, these wheels

with Koni Struts and shocks, either Eibach or Hotchkiss springs. along with other suspension goodies, like panhard bars and torque arms. C5 or LS1 brakes

i need a new clutch so maybe either a Spec or Zoom clutch. and a B&M short throw

right now i cant decide if im gonna rebuild the 305 thats in it or build up the 350 i have at home....im probably gonna go witht he 350 tho. im gonna go true dual if i can, if not i was thinking about the GMMG cat back for it, with a good Y pipe and headers, and an electric cutout just to scare people.

im gonna go with a small cowl, maybe 2" or so, new paint, and maybe red grand sport stripes on the front fender.

i also have leather 3rd gen seats in it now but the front seats are a little messed up...so i was trying to get my hands on some black leather 4th gen front leathers.

right now, thats about all i have planed....

Sounds like some awesome plans. I love those wheels . One thing I didnt see you mention I will suggest is if you are planning to lower the car any you may want to look into some lca relocation brackets too. After lowering it these will allow you to level your lca`s out to prevent wheelhop.
