Update on my wagon LT1 swap

Well, today I took all of the un-needed accesories out of the engine bay that I thought looked ugly, and power washed under the hood and under the whole car with 220 degree water and grease remover. A few days ago I ordered the 4.11 gears and rearend bearing kit adn picked up my new afco adjustable coilovers. Next week the rearend goes down to have the bracketry welded on for the coilovers, then powdercoated black, and finally set up with the 4.10 posi. I pulled the ****ty buckets out and the rear bench, which are all at a friends being redone in charcoal gray with matching patterns front to rear. The motor is ready to drop as is the tranny, I have to paint everything inside and underneath and hang it. Then I get to route the painless wiring. Its been interesting so far, but I will keep you up to date.

HAHA, it is still my baby dont worry. Right now it is in the hands of my master body man. Rolled in seeing better days as far a paint goes...will roll out very sexy like. Dont worry, I wouldnt drop this kind of cash on the wagon if the truck wasnt getting the same treatment.
