Well i guess its about time ive made a thread about the project car i picked up a few weeks ago.
Heres some info on it - Its an opal frost 94gt with a blown motor and trans, among other small things. This car is getting redone from the ground up with a budget goal of 10k even, including the car (2500). I bought the car off a board member on here bimmertech, great guy i might add. He had already installed the 6 pt and the seats were purchased by him as well as some other parts.
At this point i have the carpet mostly done, 5 pt harness' in, except for the top part which needs a bracket welded to the rollbar. I have the front coil overs in, most of the wiring rerouted, and started on the body work in the engine bay.
Plans for the engine combo are this - Stock shortblock, ported trckflow tw heads(already have these), typhoon intake (have it), single turbo setup(waiting), and an undecided cam at this point - leaning towards an f cam or steeda #19.
Im still debating what way to go with the tranny. I loved the t56 in my 03 cobra so that is without a doubt a strong possibility. I have a friend who lives and breathes ls1's and comes across used t56's often so i may try to get one through him. The other option is the G force rebuild.
I ordered the hot side of the turbo kit from B+G, its a longggg wait, Brian said up to 12 weeks (i ordered it on march 3). Ill be doing the cold side myself and have something a little different planed for it.
Anyways heres a few pics to see where im at. Id like to have this whole thing done by july. Its not much to look at now, but believe me it will be very nice when done
AS you can see from the pics, the person who had the car before bimmertech thought it would be cute to paint a bunch of stuff blue in the car. And its a major PITA to get the paint out of the window switch panel thing. What can i buy that will get the paint off with little effort? Paint thinner does nothing, and painting over it makes the paint crackle for some reason.
