so far


So far I have ripped everything out of the passenger compartment, minus a few wires. The next big step for me it to drop the tranny and pull the motor (if anyone who reads this has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated). Almost all the wiring and other stuff has been yanked out of the engine compartment; its all coming along nicely.

The first night

On the 17th I finally got the car in the garage. I've been waiting for almost 2 years now to work on it. Let me tell you a little bit about the car. Its a '85 IROC-Z with a bad blue paint-job. lol. When I got the thing it didn't run, and still doesn't. I'm planning on swapping in a LT1 from a 'Vette. The interior is now non-existent; from the carpet, seats, dash, console, everything. I'm gona put in a full roll-cage, 2 Sparco racing seats, a Momo wheel, Auto Meter gauges, and custom aluminum dash and door panels. For suspension, all new shocks and struts are in order, along with subframe connectors, polyurethane bushings, a new torqure arm, and panhard bar.
