Default brought an f body back to life

names Reichelle, ive been to this site alot but finally decided to sign up for it as i see myself constantly coming back for information.
I'm on my third camaro.. had a white with blue stripes 95 z28 and then a blue 00 SS.
I now have a red 2000 SS 6 speed vert
it came into a friends tow yard with nothing but carpet as interior nothing but a power brake booster under the hood and cut wires under the dash
my dad and I put it together. wiring was fun to do!
finally put it all together with a cammed ls1 with a t56 to back it up=)

getting the motor in and everything in front of it..
cant see in the pic but whoever stole it had cut the front core support so we had to get a piece and weld it back in

they had tore everything out of the dash.. cluster,radio, ac.. etc.
car originally had tan carpet i ripped it out and put black..



my dad and i putting the motor in..

i have more before pics that ill try to find and post them up =)

same here!
everything body wise was perfect,
they didnt even cut the top.. they punched the key hole in.
pretty odd tho..
they took headlights, fog lights.. brackets.. even the windshield fluid bottle!
