Finally got one!
Finally got one! *Pics* My name's Kermit and I've been reading on this site for a while. I'm 23 years old and have been wanting an ls based engine since my buddy bought his back when we first got our license. I'm gone from sourcing a 93 rx-7 for a swap to almost buying a new goat. I use to be signed on as "Judge" when I was asking questions for the possible buy. Well, all of those plans fell through. Now I own Josh99ta's car. It was definately a smart buy on my part. I paid more than the kbb value, but I think that I got a well set up car and a good starting point for my future plans. Now it's really time to hit the treads and learn as much as possible. With a new rear end in the near future I'll have all I need to really start making some power.

All right, here are some pics you asked for. They're the only ones that I've currently got hosted. If you want a specific angle let me know. A search for Josh99ta and pics will most likely turn up butt loads. You might have to filter through his new gto pics though.
Hot damn that car is gorgeous! I mean I'm sporting a chubby right now looking at it. Looks like some extremely nice work.

I had Josh compile the mod list since I'd never have remembered everything. LOL, a lot of it is still being paid for by him on his credit cards! (THANKS JOSH!)
One update though. The Ipod cable's gone and replaced with a Kenwood IP-500 ipod controler. That way I can put my I pod in the glove box, control it from the cd player, and not have to worry about someone breaking in to just to steal that.
