Default my car drama

well i drive a 94 formula and decided to do an M6 swap.. my dad has a junkyard and we got a 97 camaro SS... and i decided to use that as a donor car... well i did the engine/tranny swap. and it ran for a few days.. fealt strong as ****.. buthad some kinks... ( i suspected optispark) but my dad's mechanic was determined it was something else.. well after days of stupid bullshit at our shop, we finally got some time to work on it... my mechanic wanted to change the whole electircal system... while i was caught up at work, he changed the WHOLE DAMN DASH AND ALL WIRING!.. i was sort of pissed off, but it did look neat.. and i finally got the leather seats.. lol.. well anyways, we finished it up and i drove it... and it just didnt feal right... i was about to break down in tears.. after all the time and money.. sweat and blood i put into it... i get kicked in the *****.. so in rage i decide to scrap it and started tearing into the car, determined to sell it away piece by piece... i havnt seen it in days... and now i miss it even more... and im thinking about fixing it this summer.. damn car

oh well.. sorry for the long read... just wanted to share what my love affair with my car has done to me...

oh and i kept scanning it for codes.. but nothing showed up at all!.. every time... i am so confused... im just gonna tear into the car again and build it back together piece by piece..
