Hey everyone....I've been looking around this site every day looking for info so I already know alot of you lol.....just want to say hi and post my first question........
Im looking for people who have done something similiar to what I'm trying to do. I picked up an 88 gt and it was the biggest nightmare....blown headgasket, worst interior I have ever seen....I'm sure you guys now what Im talking about...just plain crap. It got me very discouraged and I came close to selling it but I have hope! I tore the entire car down and I'm in the middle of restoring it and building it in a SC car.
My question is this, for those of you who have done a large project like this do you have any recomendations for a plan. There is just SO much that needs to get done that I dont know where the to start! I dont want to go buying stuff and then finding out that I dont need it down the road...should I just purchase the things as I go? I do alot of mechanic work
so I know how to do it all, I have just never had to do such an extensive build up. So what do you think? Suspension first? Engine? What essential engine parts should I start off with for the build etc. Sorry for the long post, especially since its my first but my account hasnt been working so I have been itching to ask you guys some questions. Well thanks in advance and heres the progress I have so far....
1. drained all fluids
2. removed all electrical lines
3. tore out entire interior
4. cars on jack stands
I already have the following:
New seats
H-pipe
headers
electric fan
new radiator
all engine gaskets
thanks again..
