Default Introducing myself

I'm on here once in a while but figured I'd finally introduce myself. I'm a young car nut from Idaho. I've been working in Iraq for the last few years which is where I am now. I've got an ls1/t56 that will go into one of my projects. I also just bought an 01 6spd ws6 for the low price of $6500. Good deal even with 165k miles if you ask me. Here is the TA:

One of these two will the the ls1 swap. Probably the 67 but I'm not positive yet.






If you've ever looked for a GTA with black leather you know how hard they are to find.

I've considered putting the ls1 in my Talon because the 4g63t needs rebuilt, but being a turbo awd car I think I'll just fix and modify it. But it would be an awesome swap. I have yet to see a Talon/Eclipse with a v8 swap.

Well I'm finally home from Iraq for a bit. Here's some better pics of my WS6. The pics above were from ebay and the kid did a pretty good job of hiding the flaws lol

The clear looks like crap and is pealing on the hood.

The paint is pealing on the passenger door

This car came from Florida and this mud does not want to come off
