Default My 2000 Camaro goes form a Salvage to a Savage

My smoking deal of a 2000 Camaro.
Bought a 2000 roller and then another 2000 for the motor and trans. I am in the final stage of compleation. All that is left is to paint the hood and head for the DMV.

All in all I have about 4 grand into this rebuild.

That includes Weaind intake, up graded valve train, gt2-3 cam, Sebring true dual exhaust, with hooker LTs, and a Viper alarm with auto start. Been a long drawn out project but well worth it.

Here are a few shots before the repairs.

















Few shot repairs in process




Shots after the repairs, ready for the motor
Few Bay shots:





Here is the new power plant, bought a wreked 2000 SS for the power plant and trans. Was a auto but no problem swapped every thing over for this car to be a auto.

Here is a shot of the wrecked donor:


And with everything back together ready to roll.

Yes I painted it all myself in the dusty dirty garage. Just makes for more "cutting and buffing". Will get some more photos once I finsish the hood.

This is going to be the wifes daily driver as well.

That is a fact, hurts to walk through a yard and see them done for.
