Project: 'Merica, Fiberglass and V8s

[D_Eclipse9916]

While I debate to sell it, I am converting it back to SSR. This is basically a stock class with the only modifications being shocks, a sway bar (front OR rear), tires, and a cat-back.

God this thing sucks to get on the lift...may need to mount permanent bump-ups to the floor to reduce the pain. Has to go up on first two wood blocks, then add the third afterward because you cant fit all 3 at once under the car.


Got some stuff knocked out over the holidays
-Radio went back in along with all the speakers
-Stock Steering wheel back in (holy mother of balls that thing was welded to the column). With a steering wheel puller it broke out the threads, and we had to drill and tap for a bigger bolt. Tightened down and it looked like it was going to pop the new threads as well so we hit it with some PB blaster and I just kept whacking away at it with the sledge till it came loose.
-Stock seats went back in
-Ordered Strano front sway bar
-Picked up stock headers to go with some stock mid-pipes I have laying around
-Oil Change





Car is a lot "scarier" in the stock seats because they are basically futons and you go everywhere.

Still to do:
-Stock intake/intake box
-Put A/C back in
-Exhaust swap
-pull clutch/flywheel and put stock one back in
-pick up set of stock wheels
-pick up stock front spring and replace
-Pull every bushing on suspension and replace with new OEM (corvettes burn through suspension bushings)
