Introduction
The end of the 2009 season is here. I was able to get a ton of work done to the car this season and lots of new and exciting parts installed. Next season will be just as great, I'm sure! Check out the list below for what I was able to get installed this season! Over the winter I will be buying up a ton of suspension parts to install next spring!
This is just a brief overview of my car:
I purchased it from an older man who stored it in the winter for the past 9 years of his ownership. I have no information of how the owner before that treated the car. The engine was rebuilt at 100,000 km and since then 40,000 additional kms have been put on it. The car is now 23 years old as am I. In, 2008, a new 3800SC Series II engine was been installed along with a 4spd manual transmission.
I'm slowly improving the car; cleaning, replacing, repairing, and customizing parts all over the place. Its quite the job I have on my hands but I enjoy it and don't mind spending the money. It doesn't seem like much right now, but expect my car to see a few shows in the future as I intend on keeping it for a LONG time.
Here are some plans/progress with the car. These are items that I've bought and are waiting to go on the car or have been installed!
