Default Finally it's a driver!

Well after it sat for 5 years I got it running and driving with a carb setup on it, and ofcourse, I hated that. I wasn't in love with the way it sat, and the wiring wasn't my favorite. So it sat for another year and a half. But about 4 months ago I finally decided I wanted to either do something with the bucket of bolts, or sell it. and I ordered up another handful of parts, and I did the EFI setup on it, changed a bunch of things in the suspension and steering, and now I can say I am pretty happy with the car! I have put a few hundred miles on it now, and I have gotten the majority of the major bugs worked out, now it's all the little things, but it's getting there! Thought I would post some progress pics of it now!

It's a 2000 5.7 F body LS1, TH350 (soon to be T56), PSI conversions harness &a PCM, tanks in tank, 255 walbro, stainless works headers and mount kit, Holley pan, LS6 PCV, speedtech AFX spindles, C6 Z51 front brakes, LS1 f body rears, QA1 coilovers, global west arms, speedtech front and rear sway bars, ZJ steering box, moser 12 bolt, DSE dropped leafs and shackles, caltrac's, procar seats, bonspeed billet wheels, just a few of the highlights that I can list off the top of the head! Now that it's a runner I am fully motivated again. Plans for the winter are the T56, and a Magnacharger at the very least. Needless to say I am thrilled to be driving it again!

The 5 year thing seams normal so don't feel bad! I may have some interested in the carbed ls parts if you still have them.
