Alright for those of you that need to get up to speed on my car.
I bought the car 10 years ago (wow already?) i was 16 and she's the first car i ever bought
Here's how she looked. Tried my best to look like a kid in the 80s for the picture, i understand my jeans still weren't tight enough
looks like she needed a bit of work, so we got to it.
Rebuilt the 305, painted her and redid the interior
Had her on the road the next summer looking like this
I wasn't too impressed with my paint job and i need to replace the driver side door after someone tried to steal my car
So it was back in the paint booth (my garage)
And she came out way better, though next time i think i'll get a pro to do it
I was bored one day and decided, "hey let's put a cam shaft in the car easy peasy" yes brilliant idea!
While the thing is in pieces might as well bolt on some headers
then that was over with and i got bored again.
So i had another genius idea of just swapping the guts out of the rear end for a limited slip
Terrific. i should be good for a while eh?
No dice, i then had another one of my fabulous ideas, get rid of the 3-0-slow and just rebuild a 350
i mean, how hard can it be right?
So the cam bearing knocker is a little large... ok its for big diesels, still worked like a charm
Hey, i do work also.... sometimes
man do i need a haircut!
Time to drop her in
Even the little brother lend a hand
well now i had to back that thing up with a decent tranny, unfortunately i forgot my camera and i have no pictures of that.
So you'd think i'd be happy now right? wrong!
had to install more parts, pro kit spring, pan hard bar and the strut tower brace doesn't fit... bummer
Well last spring was a slow one, with the parents moving and all but i got a few things done
New RCA with relocation brackets, Pro 5.0 shifter and knick knacks like the dash emblam and new centercaps
So here's what i got litering my garage that i need to install this spring
Valvetrain
Baer Brakes
Sub frame connectors
Autometer gauges (this has been litering for a good 3 or 4 years, gotta get er done)
Parts i need to buy and install this spring
Adjustable torque arm with a new crossmember to relocate the torque arm mount
stay tuned
