I can't drive
Hey all!
It's always been a slow progress with the car for me it seems. Like most of us the intentions start good but life happens. I bought the car new in 2007...daily drove it for a year (putting 37k miles in that short time) then it's been a nice weather car since minus a couple occasions. It has a couple small bolt on's currently and minus wheels it's a full weight car that has been 12.5 on a near stock suspension minus BMR springs.
I have had a Kellogg crank, flattop Diamond Pistons, Manley rods, and a Saleen supercharger waiting to go in for about 3 years now. I didn't think the Saleen would satisfy my power goals so sold it and ended up going with a THP single turbo kit last year along with an oil less comp turbo. I'm at the point to where work is slowing down soon (hopefully) so I'll have alittle free time to get some things done.
I also started a wire tuck about two years ago after buying another house but once again work took priority and the car sat for 10 month. I got it together so I could make Bradenton in 2013 then we found another house shortly after and bought that so without boring you too much the house things are also winding down. My wife says we're done for alittle bit. Lol
I guess as progress happens I'll update this thread and I'm sure there will be some questions along the way that hopefully some of you would be willing to help me with.
In the mean time I'll throw up a few pictures of the car before/after and as it sits this evening.
The day I brought it home, it did have 17" bullet's and pin striping but that went quickly as you can see.
After getting windows tinted, eibach prokit springs, gt500 spoiler, CDC Classic chin spoiler.
A phase i went through with the wheels.
I figured it was time for new bumpers and wanted to break up the white so sprayed some hotrod black on the hood, and went with race stars, as well as '10+ mirrors.
Time for the fun...before wire stuff started.
Interior had a couple pieces painted hotrod black, '10+ steering wheel, '10+ seat covers
With that quick run down in the cars history here are a couple from tonight which I hope to update soon as progress happens.
Please ignore the filthy and embarrassing engine bay lol but here it is down to stock air box and paper filter.
Everything all laid out and ready to start going on. Need a couple odds and ends such as coolant hoses and fittings for the turbo, wideband, fuel pump.
