the exterior is going to be 100% stock right down to the iroc decals, stripes & 88-90 style wheels. but it definitly is getting something decent under the hood, 200 horsepower isnt going to cut it, it needs to be faster than my truck lol.

you said it was going up in price and only way it'll be worth more is if it is stock.

Upgrade the drivetrain and enjoy the car.

in low mileage all original 100% stock condition id say your correct.
if the car was a 1LE, firehawk, tta or any other extremely desirable 3rd gen i would put it to stock condition.

these cars arent like 60s/70s muscle cars yet where the price of an all original mint low mileage car is astronomical in value compared to a restoration.

in low mileage mint original condition my car would prob be worth 10k tops. in restored form the value is going to be less. in my situation i feel that the cars value in restored condition will probably be higher with the more modern drivetrain and other special work done to it.

Completely agreed. Awesome work man.

See! Tell someone else that for me so she'll stop telling me to get rid of my third gen lol.


Now go get it together!

should have some more progress by the weekend, in search of a wreckd ls1 01-02 6 speed car for drivetrain transplant, keep an eye out for me.

if your on the cheep man go 4.8 5.3 t56 for the time and then when you have the cash go ls1, ls2

he said ls1 boomer lol

i want a whole car, its the most cost effective way to finish this thing. there are alot of compatible parts on a 4th gen i can use on my iroc. motor, trans, driveshaft, axle, wheels/tires, brakes, wiring, interior, computer, fuel system.
