Seems like your project is moving along pretty well. Keep it up man! Soon you will be putting down some rubber on the street.

Soon enough... main thing I need to find is an engine/trans... I have a question for you... Where did you get those E36 Angel Eyes from? I love those!!! If you don't mind telling me if not it's ok too. I love the look of them, I've got some Halos on my SS as well...

Thanks for the compliments and the link!! I'm really thinking about pulling the engine, but I kinda don't need 2 non running cars around... lol... but then that would FORCE me to build the engine for the SS... I'm thinking 408 Stroker for that one... but we'll see how things go...

Our car club has a picnic that day otherwise I would go... I want to run my car again but I need to get rid of the wheel hop and the hard shifting issues I was having... and probably throw on some DR's. I was out there for the Grudgefest May 8th but I only ran a best of 13.73 I believe... I'd have to look at the timeslips

Bought some new seats on Saturday. I'm going to have them recovered in Black leather/blue suede. Please excuse all the junk in my garage. On the right side are all parts/seats from the Iroc on the left is my tool box & tools

Well unfortunately I haven't had too much time to work on my Iroc between working on other people's cars... but I had some down time today and went out for about an hour or two and did a little bit... not much but it's progress... Here's some pics

My Cat wanted in on the action....


Put the passenger seat in to make life a little bit easier, it won't stay in for long.... lol


The PO's toggle switch... what it went to?? I have NO clue...


Center Console Coming out




A S***load of wires under the dash... most are from an alarm that one of the PO's had in it... wired all the way to the rear compartment in the trunk. Not sure if it worked, but whoever installed it, should NEVER install alarms in life again.... Now I may have some stuff to re-wire...





Anyone know what these relays are to?? I'm thinking it's to the door locks buuuuuuut I'm not sure... The main wires I could point out were gray/orange and gray/green. They went to a plug near the front of the driver door... see pics... any help is appreciated.




The Mess of wires I CUT out of the car....

Unfortunately I've been stuck working on other people's cars the last few weeks...

Steering wheel and Radio Install on Acura #1 and PCV Valve and Amp Wiring on My Buddy's Camaro




Clutch install on a Honda Accord and a full tune-up, oil change and oil pan gasket on Acura #1




Currently working on removing this Transmission for the 2nd time on Acura #2. Installed the trans about a month ago from a dismantler and the trans went bad, had to remove and replace the trans again



And my DD that takes up the rest of my time...

haha!!! Basically.... I knew the alarm and extra wires had to go. The alarm was spliced into the dash wiring harness so I'm going to have to replace that as well now... I may just replace it with an LS1 dash at this point... but haven't yet decided

You are doing the same build that I am. This should be interesting. Have fune and do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again.
