Looks pretty nice for an 84! Most of them are junk around here.

the interior in this one is pretty shitty..but thats an easy fix, the paint is only a few yrs old and wasn't a bad job done...
i've been looking for a long time to find a car to put my drivetrain into and when i saw thi sone..i knew it was the one..i had to have it

Nice pick up, wish i could find one that has a body like that around here... if you need any third gen parts let me know, I have a shed full of em. If you need the headlight motors repaired($300 dealer job) let me know, my dad repairs them.

its kind of a bummer bc i parted a half dozen of these things years ago and had a garage and shed full of parts..but then i moved onto 4th gens an dthought i'd never use any of it, but the turd gens sucked me back in...well after i got rid of EVERYTHING i had for them in the line of parts
diablo, thats a damn nice swap there, i hope mine comes out half as clean, the only difference i see in what i'm going to do is i'm gonna get the tubular k-member under it to help with clearance and i'm going to keep a/c (which i think means i wont be using fuel rail covers)

Is it me, or does the ls1 look really small under that hood? It looks like you can sit in there with it to work on it LOL, like a 57 chevy with a 283
