Default its done, completed, finished, finito....

the delta ss is now finished. the new rims and tires complete the look. she is faster than my 99 t/a vert and handles better too....
the fuzion zri's really help out on the traction issues.

now we just have a few finishing touches, like stereo, minor tuning with ls1edit, maybe a converter down the road, and some paint.

goodbye granny hubcaps, hellooooooo ss.



short list...
ls1 a4 from a 2002 ta ws6
pacesetter headers
hooker dual exhaust
3.42 w 11" drums from a 84 cop car
12" discs from a station wagon

she stops like mad too. i have a burn on my chest from the seatbelt from a "panic stop"

I like it! Nice job!! I used to drive an '81 Delta 88 and it really was a great driving car. Smooth.... Would've been nice to have had an LS1 pushing it down the road along with all suspension goodies on it.

What color is it going to be?
