Talking Well, that didnt take long

Well, I sold my baby about 5 months back. I ended up getting my 5th ticket and loosing to a sprayed 350Z all in one night, and my pride was hurt. I said screw it, i dont need to loose my license, and had the car sold in 3 days. I was sad to see it go and was always talking to the person who had bought it.

The transmission ended up letting go on him 2 weeks after he bought it, the 6th gear syncro fell apart and jammed itself into the transmission and had it rebuilt. he replaced the squeaky alternator, and even put a new alternator in it.

He ended up being hard up for cash so i rushed to the bank and took a loan out, and sold it back to me for the same price i sold it to him for!

rebuilt transmission: $800
new alternator: $150
new radiator: $150

buying your car back for the exact same price you sold it for after someone else fixed everything that was wrong with it: Priceless!

so here is a couple pics of her:

the intake is HANDS DOWN my favorite part of the engine bay. I actually stole the idea from a friend of mine on here. Colin91Z if i remember right, he will chime in im sure.

The coupler is a stock LT1 vette piece i had laying around. The radiator shroud Colin made for me out of some sheet metal. the intake tube is from Dr.Gas...... 60* 1D 3inch tube if i remember right. then i just figured out what K&N filter i needed.

LMAO, really good photographer. the rear quarters have been repainted along with the hood and sideskirts. the front bumper and headlight doors have also been painted and dont match at all. the rest of the paint is factory. The whole car needs repainted again.

yea...all those pictures hide that

I know how it is, i take pictures the same way

What i would like to know is that radiator peice, how is it held to the radiator? is the back end just folded down and its just more or less supporting the radiator from fall backwards more? MY ls1 lid swap needs some final touches and thats one of them.
