After a lot of thought and consideration I've decided to crush my trans am and start over with a better donor... I'm picking up a mint 98 v6 silver auto tomorrow evening to put my motor in. Lot cheaper to do that instead of restoring my 95 as well as the 98 has a clean and clear title.

 

instead of crushing the car what would you want for it? what is wrong with it?

 

It's a pos, 3 bad paintjobs in its life and was totaled by being t boned in the passenger quarter panel/door. Was fixed and looked good when i bought it then one day the bondo fell off :/ its not worth its weight in scrap.

 

Unfortunately the 98 I picked up was far from mint like they guy said... But I got him down to 950. And cost me $160 in fuel 12$ in toll fees, $25 to rent a trailer, and a trip to the ghetto :/ pics when the sun comes up.

 

Sorry to hear that it wasnt what he said...the ghetto is a wonderful place ,,can tell you how many time i went and looked a Grand Nationals here in Chicago ...only to find a pimped out dubeed regal with a GrandNational emblem on the dash......fuckn xxxxxxx

 

It looks as if he done donuts through a barbwire fence lol but only dents are drivers headlight door and a few hail dents on the hood, car had ashes all over in it, smelled like weed, console looks as if he dumped a route 44 drink in it and closed the lid, hole in the block I'm guessing. it had a major rod knock and a huge oil trail down the street onto the trailer. His woman was wearing pink leopard skin tight leather pants. My wife was not impressed, but it only took me 5 minutes to get it chained down and the hell out of there!

 

Dang hope a got 'em cheap.

 

Progress will start this afternoon shouldn't take me long to drop the v6

 

Not a bad day, quite a bit of progress made! Pics at a later time, I don't have time to upload them all onto photobucket and post them right now... But tomorrow about all that is left to do it drop the k member out.

 

Hooray for the ghetto! Haha. Wouldnt happen to have a nice pair of seat from either car would you?

 

Yes sir I do. Full set.

 

For so.e reason I can't get on photobucket from my phone to post pics, I started again today at 4:15 and at 5:45 called it a night when the engine and tranny were laying on the ground.

 

how close are you in chicago ???

 

Got the 6.0 pulled out of the 95 and moved over to the other car, gonna start with the wiring tomorrow... Merv if your reading this... What do I need to do to convert my harness from being ready to swap into the 95 to swap into the 98?

 

Harness is going back to my buddy in Nebraska to change it from a 95 to a 98 along with the v6 harness today.
Does anyone know how to post pics from photobucket mobile?

While digging around in the car I found the original window sticker, and the factory build sheet. Thought that was a pretty neat find.

 

In photobucket mobile if you pull up the pic, hit your menu button and in the pop up window you select view links and just copy and paste like normal.

 

Thanks Verz... I'll try that

 

 

Just realized this car doesn't have rear defrost!

 

Engine that's going in

Engine that came out, missing 3 cylinders... 6cyl running on 5.

New engine coming home ready to go in (minus harness)
