I had found a 94 hardtop m6 car in ohio when i was looking for 3200 with 120kish on it, but they did not take credit cards there so i was SOL. Ended up with my 95 for 3k out the door and a broken trans a week later :/ I may hunt for a roller for my other motor to go in though

You could always pick up a clean v6 car on the cheap. A guy I know has a hardtop red & black v6 car for $600 that looks clean from 50 feet (that is as close as I have gotten to the car). I thought about picking it up and keeping it around for a project down the road, but my car has been sucking up all of my extra funds lately

Might have to look into what that swap takes, going to finish up the one I have first or at least try to lol. Then pick up another DD for winter so I can store this car. It does not have any rust yet and I want to keep it that way. I'll be following on what you've done with removing weight from the interior and such.

This is just round 1 lol next winter I would like to get another 200 lbs+ out of it.

I will be swapping in a aluminum 5.3 or 5.7 and running a Megasquirt and going to a Painless or similar wiring harness to save a bunch more weight, but that's later on down the road.

Turnin20s

Well 4 hours of wiring and I finally have the EWP wired. I ended up redoing a bunch of wiring that I had done before, but it looks much better now. I just wish I could have hidden the relay better, but it's pretty much out of site and it's there for a reason so I can deal with it

I also hooked up the computer and everything seems to be working. I have a couple more things to do before I can fire it up, but it's damn close

My back was killing me when I got up today so I didn't get out to the garage before work, but I'll throw up some 95% completed engine bay pics












I ordered some stainless flexible radiator hoses and I hope they get here by the weekend. I'm going to hook up my laptop and make sure all of the sensors are reading correctly and then fire it up after I get some coolant in it. Hopefully an idle clip can be posted this weekend

Coolant hose kit showed up today....I don't like it but it will work. Once my buddy gets good with his TIG welder I will do mandrel bent aluminum pipes, or AN hoses.

Turnin20s

iTrader: (12)

Radiator hoses are on, coolant is full and primed, battery is charged, power steering is full, neutral safety switch is wired, shift light will be wired today, and the interior is going back in today

Whats left...
bleed brakes
install front bumper cover and inner fenders
pull rear bumper cover and install MWC bumper support
install cai (waiting on a new silicone elbow)
bolt the wheels on
fit the hood

Hope to have that list done after this weekend

Turnin20s

iTrader: (12)

Bumper cover is back on, everything in the interior is back in except the seats, I double checked everything and it pretty much key dropped after sitting since October

Sorry for the shaky video, I was pretty excited when it fired right up.

Now I need to wire in the shift light and put the seats in and the interior is done. Maybe next weekend I'll take it for a spin once the hood gets put on.

You don't need no stinkin hood!!! And I actually will be trying to put mine on a good diet but I don't have the bank account for MWC stuff yet haha. What are the overall goals? And is the motor still the LE3 355? Cuz that's about what mine motor setup will be

Turnin20s

My goals are to have an all around fun car concentrating on handling more than anything else. But our group of friends goes to the drag strip once a year and I want to crack off some good mph, don't really care about the times

And yes I still have the LE3 355, my compression is ~12.1:1 with the shaved heads and I'm still using the "old" CC306 but I really like the cam.

In a year or 2 I will be swapping in an aluminum LS motor (probably 5.3) with ported heads, cam, a stand alone engine management, and all of the supporting mods. When that happens I will be installing an aftermarket body harness to save a few more pounds. Ultimately I would like to have a sub 2500 lb car and still be able to drive it. I don't know if that will be possible, but I would like to find out. When I take it out for a spin next weekend I will try to get it on a scale to see what my weight is at now I'm hoping for loooow 2900s

Wired the shift light and mounted the dip switch in the glove box



Starting to look like a car again



Hood fits pretty good for a pin on




It's going to be an angry looking fish lol



My skinnies



On the car to see how the bronze looks





New elbow for the CAI will be here tomorrow and then I can finish installing
that. I have to redo one of the flares on the brake line that goes to the
proportioning valve and then I can bleed the brakes, bolt the wheels on, and
set it back down on the ground. Then mount the rails for the hood that I
didn't get done today because I took the boat out instead

Seats installed

What seats are those, I probably missed it somewhere?

Mad Racing Concepts fix mounted on 6LE Designs brackets. I had to make some adapting plates, but they sit low enough that I can wear my helmet and not hit the headliner.

Intake is finally installed, I had to order a new elbow because of the rad hoses and of course I didn't get what was described. The description said it had 4" ends and it was only 2". I was able to make it work, but it is not ideal. I also flared and installed the leaking brake line, I have the right adapter on the master now lol Now if I can get my wife to press the brake pedal a few hundred times........

Hey man any new updates?

Turnin20s

iTrader: (12)

I would but I broke my scale shortly after I bought it and I didn't feel like spending another $70 on a replacement. I dropped my stock bumper support on the screen when I was weighing parts (

Yes......I will post some pics a little later today, I installed the rails for the hood last night and am getting ready to go back out just waiting for my lunch to finish cooking
