I'm probably going to sell the 48k mile l98/700r4 out of the 85 vette. It is complete with harness and ecm. Be a good motor/trans combo for a hot rod. Would like to get $1500 for it, obo. Thing is show car perfect.

I know, and it sux. I was looking through old threads last night and my plans have had to change so many times in the last 2 years.. I feel like i'm on a roller coaster with the damn cars. Problem is the money is not there for projects and I cant sell what i have at a huge loss. ahhh teh strugglez...

Hopefully this is the last major thing I have to fix on this pit. He was driving to school and nailed a huge crater. It bent the front rim and cracked it. Also it blew apart the outer cv joint. So we replaced the cv shaft and the exhaust manifold gaskets while we were under there. I had no luck locating 1 rim to match. We ordered the set on the car from discount tire direct. Went with 225 / 50 / 16 instead of the 255 /45 / 17s that came with the car. More sidewall for a better ride and I hope more pot hole protection. When the weather breaks and I can get into my shop we have a few very minor finishing touches. The car needs an antenna and we got a roof mount fin one. The sunroof shade needs to be fixed and we have to finish all the jambs.
