Hey guys, well i'm almost done tearing down the front end besides the sway bar, steering rack, steering shaft, and a few more harnesses and so on. I'll be getting the 306 bottom end engine back either next week or the next one. THen i'll have to put the top end together and plop her back in the car and go get it dyno tuned. The whole front end of the car is getting painted(Hood,Cowl,fendrs,Bumper, and saleen front valance. I'm hiding all the wiring in the fenders and re-routing the brake lines under the cowl pinch. I got my V-1 S-Trim today also, very excited to get that baby installed.
As for the rearend i'm putting in a traction lok rebuild kit, new 5 lug stock length axles, Trick Flow rear end girdle and tons of other crap. Its just to long to make a list of parts i have or are coming. Pretty much everything is getting redone. Dropping the tank and putting in the new 255lp fuel pump and so on. Center Force clutch, flywheel, aluminum driveshaft and tons more.
I'm actually gonna leave off the saleen body kit until i get the car done and then put it back on. I want to see what the lx looks like without it.
Believe it or not this all started out to be a radiator and electric fan.... Wow ha. THen i decided to do the top end and then i was like jeez for another 1500 i can have a 306. Then it went from there to a V-1 S-Trim blower and now everything will be knew besides the block, timing chain cover and a few brackets. But EVERYTHING else new, Starter, 6G alt, power steering, heads, fuel lines, rails, intake, MAF, TB, everything.
When this is all done i'm gonna get the rest of the car repainted next springs and do a rear seat delete with a custom roll cage. Hopefully then i'll be done with the car. I might consider a Black interior conversion but i really like my grey and black and its all mint so i doubt i will. But who knows. When i get my engine back and everything else i'll snap a few more photos.
Enjoy!
Heres what started it all.....
