A little while ago I debuted the new ride and my plans for it...... Well the plans changed and the parts for the rebuild are being ordered in next week. The week after that im ordering the GMPP supercharger and finding a donor car to start my eco/5spd swap
So heres how she sits as of yesterday, and yes, this is the most snow we have gotten all winter....
I'm hoping all the exterior stuff is here by the end of the month so i can get rolling with this project. My goal is to have the new motor running by the end of march.
Well good luck man!! I hope it works out for ya

Yeah I heard the wiring needs to be replaced. Thats why I need a donor car. I need the wiring, engine, transmission, mounts, trans linkage, the dash assembly, pedals, etc.

thats kinda funny actually, considering the shocks in those things were junk and they stopped making them as replacements. I didnt have those hinges in my car for a year before I sold it

Also your gas tank and fuel lines need to be swapped over. You also need to swap over your AC lines and your radiator. You do not need to swap over the pedals. There are a few more things, PM me if you want and I'll tell you all of it there. Good luck with it man.
Oh and I also live in KY like Phlatcav so I'll be on the lookout for your car
