well here is a pic of the car with the z06 wheels I still need to trim the bump stop so it clears when the diff hangs also do the bfh mod to the frt inner fender. Im thinking of runner 18x10.5 wheels up front so I could run the ctsv brackets and also help with the handling but that may be next year.

started working on the car at 1 in the afternoon and just taking the v6 k-member I had a fight my impact wouldnt bust the boltes loose so I had to do it all by hand, once I had that out I swapped over the upper control arms and Installed the trans am frnt shocks, and laid the wiring harness on the motor to make it easy after the motor is installed. I love having a hoist doin this kind of job makes it so much easyer doing it by ur self, I had no help with the install.

the hole in fire wall worked out perfect, the harness runs right behind the intake and you cant really see where it runs to keeping the engine bay nice and clean of the wires, I wasnt happy how the wiring in the injector area turned out so im goin to look into make rail covers like the lt4 covers but I will end up wrapping them in carbon fiber something different.

I got the rad in place and im goin to run it for now till I can get a new rad to flush mount it into the rad support and Im go to relocate the factory fuel lines to clean the engine bay up I was goin to order a kit for relocating the lines but why spend money when this is a free mod to clean up the engine bay plus the stock lines will last longer. Got the car on all fours and before I had put it on the ground I had to trim up the pass side bump stop to clear the wheel but the driver side was a different story I ended up cutting out the driver side stop and hammer in the little bump to clear the wheel, I for see adjustable suspension parts for this car soon, Im liking the rear mudflaps on the wide tire I think I may just keep them on the car.

Nice dude what's the running eta?

well Im hoping to have it running by the end of jan would be nice, right now im just penny pinching hard core, I still need to pick up o2 senors which are like 160 for the pair, still gotta get a set of plugs and wires which are really the only thing I really need to get running that I can think of lol, I still have lots to do before i fire it up mainly the wiring of the fuse block and mount behind the dash and hope to god my engine wiring turn out ok fingers crossed lol. Id like to drive it this summer and than next winter probley another tear down for paint and maybe a 6spd swap but well see how I like the auto this summer plus Ill be back in constrution this spring so I should have better pay meaning more fun parts for the car lol.

cleaned all the glue and bulk head connector from the wiring what a mess that was.

this is the igntion harness which was labled and removed from the under hood fuse box awaiting a new fuse box, the old fuse box only had the 2 injector fuses, 2 hdlp door fuses, cooling fan relay and fuse left so I figure I would upgrade to the newer mini fuse style and with some extra fuses for things like elec water pump and exhaust cut outs which can be added to the fuse box later on, Im also goin to be ordering a vat by pass box so I can remove the vats from the car instead of having to send out my pcm to have its tune plus when I do my 24x swap that pcm will be tuned with the vats off. I just wanna clean up as much wiring as I can while I have my dash out. stay tuned.

here is how the old fuse box sits after I had removed it from the harness

hopfully this weekend I can get the headlight harness put on the car and ready to be extended most of the wiring will go down the driver car side of the in the fender rail to hide all the wiring along with the hood release cable.

I dont wanna have to sale it but being the only one working in my house hold is kind hard with 3 kids and a house payment. I plan to be back in a f body again down the road.
