Default Anyone else get used to seeing your car like this?

I've owned this car for 10 years now.... only 64k original miles. It seems to spend more time apart than on the street but I still enjoy working on it as much now as ever.

Yup. Last summer I swapped a built 4l60 into my car drove it a couple weeks and took it to the track, and took it apart again for head and intake swap then decided to change cams. Now all it needs is a tune to be back on the streets, but I can't stop thinking of wanting to go fi lol...stupid mod bug lol

I do one project at a time so I can quickly finish to take the car for at least one drive. Then I'll start the next project.
This method keeps me sane and motivated.

I really enjoy working on my car, one of the reasons I bought it was to mod it, thats why i bought it cheap. I know my car inside and out and have had every part off of it except for the dash and rear end.
