autotr8er2 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ok John, Starquest Members, I'm starting my "quest" to insanity. I'll just start by giving a ton of credit to all of you here, indebted for the insight and knowledge gained by lurking on the forums. So far, Engine out, the bay is stripped. All the wiring in the car removed. The dash and interior is out. The harnesses are not going back in but I plan to use most of the wiring. For those of you that replaced the factory harness after it was removed, my hat is off to you. Pictures will soon follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autotr8er2 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Not sure what transmission but it will be a 6 spd. it'll take me a few years so I don't anticipate being able to attend next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autotr8er2 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Oh, one more thing. I'm scrapping the stock suspension. I'll be riding on air. The front will be independent SLA. Rear will also remain independent but not sure what I'll do. Edited December 15, 2013 by autotr8er2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Industries Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 that rear looks interesting with that spoiler, do you have any other pics of it. do you plan on repainting the engine bay? like the idea of a bagged suspension. please document it.

autotr8er2 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 picked up the engine yesterday. It's out of a 2000 corvette with 80K. I'm trying to upload the photos, but no luck. I also have the full harness and computer. While I was at it, I also got all four hubs, rotors, brakes and spindles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
