So it’s been YEARS since I got on here and posted anything. Unfortunately I don’t have the mindset to “journal and document” as I go so pardon the craziness.
Bought the car in OCT 2011. It was a monster from Frankenstein. Had parts from all years, different models/packages, not to mention other makes (seats out of an old Honda Civic). It was barely running but not safe or reliable at all. Tooled around for a few weeks then found a shop to start working on it.
Jump ahead to July 2012 and I had the whole car rewired, Power seats from an 81, new dash and a few other upgrades.
Found a shop that did good drivetrain work and got motor rebuilt, swapped the trans, rear-end, did a brake conversion and added a vortech charger in 2013.
Got tired of the temperamental fuel system and went efi in 2015 and upped the psi from 4 to 8 on the charger. Also did 3” stainless from headers back with flow master mufflers. Replaced the grille and wheels and tires too.
Kept it as-is until 2019 when I was referred to a body shop in Sugar Land. That was an utter mistake. Been there since Oct 2019 and still in pieces.
I think he finally got some paint on it but still have a long way to go.
I’ll send more updates when I see some progress.
