I fucking love my neighbors!
Top it all off the transmission let out not but a week later. Excellent luck I've had so far. SO I was pissed off and wanted to part the car out, which led to ripping apart the inside and outside of the car, then I changed my mind and decided to fix it. So I bought a transmission with 80k on it for like $200, ran and drive perfectly before it got pulled.
I have cleaned it up and took off all the surrounding pieces off it. I've got a transmission cooler and shift kit waiting to go in now, I was going to save for a SS3600 but I had to spend all my tax money on adult stuff. Lame. Just recently I finished my grey leather swap and I love it. Just need to go pick up a few pieces to finish up the interior.
So now that I don't have a raggedy interior anymore I can focus on other important issues which is where I stand today. Plan is right now:
Put newer trans in with new lines
Install PS pump and new lines
Misc sensors
Shocks/springs
Repaint nose againnnnnn
Tires
Founders LCA'S, PHB, and reloc brackets
Long tubes and ORY
Tune
SS3600
My goal is to have it at least road ready and somewhat presentable by May, there's a lot of little things I have to figure out on this car still but I hope to be running at the drag strip and going to cruises consistently this year
