Picked up this SSZ locally, was pretty much everything I was looking for which was, manual, twin hump hard lid and sunroof. Its a pretty clean and straight car for its age with the only real damage being someone has scratched both sides. Its 99% stock with the exception of a different exhaust tip I think. I found it after my dad told me about it being parked in someones front yard with a for sale sign on it, he originally looked at it for himself but I ended up buying it instead

Nice, yes if it is 5.7L it is an LS1.

Got a tub liner? If not, spider easy to get out. If yes, have fun.

I just did my brake light, it had a bug in it too, wasn't too hard to get out honestly. Hardest part was getting out the actual bug not the taillight. There are holes in the taillight assembly, I just kept banging it around til it got to one of those holes then used a screwdriver to dig it out.

Need a philips head and an 8mm socket to get assembly out. I took pictures of my process for getting to the taillight if you want to see click here, after these photos just undo the nuts on the inside of that panel I take out
