Whats up everyone, Figured I would start a build thread on my girl . I bought the car from Orlando back in early Feb 14 and drove it home to New Orleans. Talk about a fun drive. I was hesitant in buying her, as she needed a lot of work in my eyes. I bought her because of the reputation it had around the area and the damn thing was fast. 2 weeks into into it, the clutch went out. AC followed soon after. Then the fuel pump started to go. I even had the fuel send line bust on me. Starter had just recently went out. Of course I keep thinking man I must have bought a cursed car. Well things break as we all know. I am trying to stay the course here. I have done a lot over the months trying to get her right. I will post a mod list later, as its not on the cpu I on. I don't feel like typing all of it. But here are a few pics of her current state.

Just ordered some Battle version rack bushings. Hoping replacing those rack bushings will take care of the excessive play in the steering. Passing people is so sketchy because of the lack of response I have. As of now when I turn the wheel driving nothing happens, have to keep turning lol. Not to safe....

Yep, no problem man. I just left Louisiana last November, I was stationed there for 3 years. I'll pm a salvage yard up "North" w/ over 50 acres of land, and the lot is in alphabetical order for all your parts needs!

Just some pics from when I bought her.





Taken at the shop a couple days after I bought her.





Interior wasn't the best, Carpet was nasty, dash bezel was plastidipped.





After I degreased and wiped the bay down. Def looks nice and clean now.

Can you show a pic of the rear tinted tail lights please? Good luck with the solid bushings. I can't wait to buy mine. Mine looked exactly like that when I replaced mine with rubber ones. Wish I would've bought the solid aluminum.
And for the record, your sc looks absolutely stunning.

Here is some random shots I have taken since I have started the project.





When I was on the Racing Harts I had bought when I left with the car from Orlando





Poppin Hoods on them





When I was running the intake tube, now running the Velocity stack with filter.





After I installed the new climate control. The Middle console is def one of my fave parts of the interior.
