Build story
I bought this car in December 2017 as a Xmas present to myself (took about 4 months to find a car in my budget and a semi decent starting point). All mechanical work was performed by myself, only an alignment shop has touched the car since I've owned it. I gutted the interior and installed new carpet, dynamat, headliner and dash cover, so I can take the kiddo and his momma in it. Luckily the seats were good and just needed a cleaning. About 4 hours with the buffer got the paint to shine up real nice.
Nearly every part was bought on discount, craigslist, eBay or classifieds of a forum. All Taking my time waiting for deals/sales I was able to assemble and build a really good engine combo for less than an LS Swap! It took close to 2 years to get the engine built and in the car and running.
