Alright guys so this project is going to go much further than I had intended originally, so I figure I might as well start a build thread for it! I had picked the car up for $600 running and driving with a V6 auto, with intentions to fix it up a little and 302 swap it, and that would be it... but we all know how that goes I picked the car up when I was 15 in 2011 and have been working on it ever since! I won't back track and fill the thread with pictures so I'll give you some back story on it, mod/fixing wise(In mostly chronological order): I got it, took it home, had a cousin rattle can it black for me which lo and behold turned out awful. Instead of worrying about that I went to the interior, stripped it down and left only the dash hull, cut out rusty floor area and put in some sheet metal, I painted everything from the dash pad up red, and I switched out the mexican blanket seats and door panels for 86 GT gray stuff. had to take apart 3 center consoles, and separate foam/plastic/cover from the armrest, and actually managed to make one good one! removed chrome trim, and did flat black, disassembled front clip, sanded the whole car down, replaced the trunk, and did some extensive metal/filler repairs on the passenger 1/4, and 2 front fenders, and primed the whole car. replaced the rear shocks with Munroe coilovers, replaced the front springs and shocks with KYB. Drove the car down the road to a buddys, put it in the garage did final prep and painted the next day. skip a few weeks of odds and ends, taped up around side windows and did whole area flat black. Sent the car to the garage for entire brake job every single thing from the master cylinder back was done brand new, had it inspected and that was that. mostly untouched since bought a parts car the winter and soon going to be doing the engine swap! with out further ado the link to my photobucket is in my signature, I try to keep it updated, and I'll start here with the much more recent picture of the car and motor.
