OCT. 2008 Update. I am going to do a 2.0 TURBO eng and 5 speed getrad swaps, I almost have all my parts. Build will start before long!
Well, I have a v8 blazer and its absolutly horrible in snow, and its not to fond, well, i guess i should say it IS fond of gas... so i decided to get a beater car to drive around. Thats when i found this sunbird for 200 bux. it had a blown head gasket and would barley run, it had been sitting so long it was all nasty.
SO i brought it to work with me and went to replace the head gasket and found the junk head on it needed to be replaced and that cost 400 bux!!!
Heres a pic after ALOT of cleaning.
Then i decided to get some tires because the ones on it were NOT safe, and i decided to also get some wheels out of a junkyard to put them on. SO i went hunting, and came across an Olds 442. I got the wheels off it which had clear and gold paint on them and they had ALOT of rash on them.
So then i went to sanding, and sanding. Got them to a mirror finish with no more rash marks. i only have 1 done, and the rest just have the clear coat and heavy grit sanding done.
Now i realized i hated how much the rear of the car looked. So i built a dual exhaust with camaro tips LOL.
Made it look alright, but i still hated the god awfull taillights on it.. so....
sanded
Taped off
Painted
I also removed the spoiler and painted it. and....tadaaa
I also hated the stock air intake since it went throught like 3 air boxes and 4 foot of tubing so i got this cheap filter and rigged this up, i didnt have all the piping i thought i had, so i just had to stick it there, later i will route it down under thhe vehical where it wont be sucking in 200 degree air off the rad.
