Man am I reading right? Did you say a 6.2 litre V8??!!! Woohoo crankin!

Sounds like a cool project but is it a wagon you need especially? You could just get a SL/E that has all those goodies already.

the car was pretty straight with no real damage or rust - i had it in storage for about 8 years after my folks stopped driving it - just waiting for the time and chance...

ended up choosing a momo wood grain steering wheel that is having shifter buttons installed on the underside.

hopefully be finished this month, although i said that in november


18 inch wheels from a VT GTS (silver)
