Well I picked up a cleaner DA a few weeks ago.. Its a 92 ls, 242,xxx miles, 97ls head unknown miles, short ram intake, dropped on sleeves. Body is way clean for a MN vehicle. Paint is just startin to bubble in places, with small surface rust on the inside of the fender, nothing serious. Just sand it a lil bit and give it a coat It also came with a spare ls block, g.e. ls vtec kit, and ctr pistons.




First thing I did was swap out the amber bumper lights, jdm one piece headlights, and some fresh 92-93 tails. Cleaned up the interior, got it all detailed and put back together. Then I put on my Fit HFP wheels.




Installed all four mudflaps as well, then I got in a PWJDM rear window visor. Also got some sidemarkers waiting to go on. Gotta fix the drivers fender before those go in.



Just yesterday I took out the antenna and covered that up, and also got the hood taken care of, no more bubbling/rust. Still gotta go back and sand some more and lay paint.




Thats where I stand.. Planning on doin a tuck on the headlight harnesses, cleanin up the bay a bit, and hopefully by the end of april my swap will be ready!

 

Its been a while since I've been here. Ill give y'all a quick update.
My engine is finished, pulled the old one out and did a tuck myself (first time) and now I'm gettin the engine bay ready for a spray. Also been putting in all new bushings n whatnot, got a lot of new parts that still need to go in!.
Now for pics.
Sprayed the hatch with some undercoating and new paint

Completed motor.


Out with the old!


I'll try n get some fresh pics of the tuck too. Just figuring out where to put the fuse panel without bringing it into the cabin.

 

That motor looks sexy.

 

Thanks man, lotta reading and learning went into that thing! Good experience, lotta time and money =] I'm excited to see what numbers she throws out!
I just love looking at it, even just sitting in the garage, and sayin to myself 'that really is my baby.. I made that ****!' Hahaha

 

Well I sold the old ls today! Also got the engine bay painted too!

End result

might throw in the headlights n fenders, see how it looks

 

Threw the lights n a few other things in, and also got my header!

 

End result.. just waiting to get tuned!

 

I hope you don't lose your header/collector/exhaust or oil pan. That thing's hammered. I missed what the new engine set-up is.

 

Yea ill have to put up a pic of the clearance.. ***** pretty close lol. As for the engine. It was going to be just a basic lsv... well that went out the window lol, now I just need it tuned.

 

I gotta roll up on a 2x4 and bricks to get our Jack under it =P
