Default Saved a '98 Z28!!!

Sharing pictures of my progress this summer.

Sold my 96 Z28 and bought a 98 Z28.

When I bought it:







Now:











Have since put in GM floor mats, SLP shift ****, and delt with the clutch pedal.

Car has TR224, LT headers, ORY, SFC, LCA, Tubular TA, Panhard Bar, Driveshaft loop, and a few other things.

Sometime ago it was a member here's car. There are some things I still want to do the car like a new clutch but for now I am going to drive it! Has 88K miles.

Sounds like the car has had a rough life. Military person traveling all over letting it sit, vandalism, and sitting for years before I got it. Lots of people with plans/ideas and just not getting it done.

Plate..is difficult to see at speed. Common for people to do so they "avoid" getting busted by the cops, usually has the opposite effect. In my area, it lets everyone know whos in the car.
