Build story

I bought the car complete and original for $200. It had sat in a shed since 91. I didn’t know much about 2002s when I bought it. Originally was just going to get it running and make a little hoodrat low rider. One thing led to another and I just decided to strip the car put a cage in it and a 383 and 5 speed. The t5 exploded 3rd gear so my son talked me into pulling the SBC and do an LS swap. The entire motor sits behind the front wheel hubs. The back 2 cylinders are actually under the dash. This is the first car I’ve ever built. I have no plans on painting it. As far as I’m concerned it’s finished. It does amazing burnouts on 12 pounds of boost. It’s a lot of fun to drive. It gets attention at local car shows/meets. Some love it but some hate it. A lot of BMW guys despise that I ruined a 2002.
