Talking Overnight transformation - check it out

My 2001 arctic white Z28 M6 was totalled in a bad wreck with a semi on 1/24/05, may she rest in peace. I finally found a replacement, a 2000 Pewter Z28 M6. Well cared for, t-tops of course. I had a few parts stacked up for it in my room, since I got to take my modifications off the wrecked white car...I also kept on buying parts when I didn't have a car because I knew I'd be in another camaro soon enough

When I bought her:





I was so excited, I stayed up til 2am working on it. Oil change, new rear end fluid & installed G2 rear end girdle, new boxed panhard rod I made, bilstein HD shocks, eibach pro kit, new swaybar endlinks, 17" black ZR1 wheels, got rid of CAGS via the pcm, got rid of DRLs, painted the headlights, installed clearcorners, black tail panel, clear air lid, readjusted sloppily-installed pro 5.0 shifter, and detailed the car inside and out (still gotta tackle the engine bay).

















the making of the panhard rod! I just like the way welding shows up on camera.

Tell me about it!! I am in between NY/NC right now. I have to keep the NC inspection until I get back to NY. I have to keep the NY temporary inspection until I can get a regular NY inspection. The NYS registration sticker is also mandatory, and I need the other sticker for parking on campus!! lol I hate it too.

Wow, looks awesome, whole new car. Judging by the lioness as your avatar, and the long hair in the picture, I'm going to try to play it safe and guess you are a girl. If so, welding, manual transmission, and muscle car.. that's hott.

thanks I appreciate it. I wish I was into shoes or shopping or something it would be a lot cheaper then working on cars, lol. Wouldn't have it any other way though.
