Cool New member with an LS..uhhh...

Well, if you're anything like the other forums I've been on, you want to see the car. Too bad. You'll have to wait.

I'm from central NC and just got introduced to my newest car, and my dream car. I drove my truck allllll the way to Florida, alone, to pick this one up. I'm finishing up my auto tech degree, but I'm gonna need a little more help on this one car. I'm really looking forward to building this baby. I could go on all day... but you probably wish I'd so you can see her.


So, now on to the goods...

Drilled and slotted rotors are a good start...




T-top sunshades and headliner... CHECK!




Clean door panels... CHECK!




Nice pewter leather seats... CHECK!




But they're even better when they come on this. :grin:




SCORE!




With ooooooooone minor complication...



So that's me and my LS...something. Tips, advice, etc., are all welcome. Thanks for looking!!

I've got a T56 on standby, but I'm looking for any LS motor I can afford, which will come when I either trade my 3.8 or sell her and buy a motor. Not sure quite yet what's going to happen...but I didn't know what to do with my GTA when I got it, either, and she's taken shape nicely.

We'll see what happens...but she's going to be a daily, so I don't want to go TOO crazy.

Not quite sure. He had a turbo'd intercooled 423 LSX on her and pulled it out for some reason. I think he wanted to sell it apart from the car for max cash. He had a 6.0 iron block in his garage I'd LOVE to have, but I didn't have the cash on me and I am SO not driving to Florida again to get it.

He asked me if I was on the site yet, so he might turn up here. If he does, maybe he can ship me that beautiful iron block...
