What's crackin this is my page for the Pace Car I recently aquired last year, I got it as a roller project. It was totallt gutted and had no drivetrain except suspension and body. It was gonna need allot to bring it back from the dead and it has'nt ran since 2004. I had my work cut out for me as they say,but I had no idea it was gonna be this much work to get everything together. This is what it needed to run again...
1)engine
2)transmission
3)comeplete electrical harness(front to back)
4)complete interior
5)...and a whole lotta patients(lol)
Well after sitting on the car for about 6 months, I could'nt start the revival because of a lack of parts. There was no use of staring anything til I got a harness, it may sound easy but it was'nt. All the harneses were trashed that I found in the wrecking yards,nothing on line that I could use and I was starting to give up hope. Well one day I was on-line and found a car that was for sale...same freaking car for a great price (it was salvaged) so I made some calls and met up up with the owner of the car. Well a deal was struck and it was mine and all my problems were solved! So the last week of 2006 I went on vacation and started the change-over. Well in 07' I started the car up for the first time since its demise and it's alive! Now all I gotta do is finsih the interior and some misc things (ie:interior/electical lights and get it smogged) And I have'nt even thought about how much its gonna cost to get it registerred...ugh,but thank God it has a non-op on file with the DMV. So hopefully in about a month or so it will be on the road again(?) crosses fingers! lol!
Whats in the future you maybe asking yourself, well a 5-speed conversion,lowering it with some springs and brake up-grades. A rollerized windsor (maybe a 331 carbed motor) An 8.8 rear end upgrade with some 4.10(with the 5 speed)All new suspension and better seats. It's a work in progress,but a labor of Love as they say. If you have any questions hit me up,thanks for looking.
