Yea, it's got a few things that need fixin!! But sometimes that's half the fun. Good luck with the build, let us see pics when it's done. On the bright side at least you get to paint it whatever color you want!

That is where the performance modding starts! Nice project and good to see another bird that did not end up in the junkyard in that condition! Is it a salvage?

If i rember properly the windshield is around $900. Its either the windshield or the window for the back hatch.

I would attempt to goto a auto scrap yard thats where i got my spindle. (bent my stock one)

Most of the F-bodys and stuff there just had fucked up engine compartments.

All you gotta do is go pick apart stuff you need from there clean it up and slap it on.

Im pretty shure you can pull the windshield off one that will fit and get away with a steal for it to probaly about $100.

Good luck as well man paints not to expencive at Advanced Auto. They also got interior repair kits there to which i picked up my self for about $12's and it works.

Afterthough Auto which is an LS1 tech sponsor had good stuff as well if you want to boost the apperence more.
