My ls1 car history haha...

First ls car, '99 Z28 -

Day I bought it - it was super clean and pretty decked out from day 1....




Did quite a few things with it, smaller stuff, but it looked a bit different -




2nd ls car - '98 z28

For sale ad pics - pretty rough -






Did quite a bit with this car - went thru like 4 sets of rims in like 2 years lol -






Turbo build up -








Right before selling it -












Current car - '98 Trans Am

For sale ad




This one already had the turbo kit on it, but had some issues. Still a work in progress, but currently here -
