Well, I have decieded to finish her up once more. I ran into a tough spot in my life and had to sell some things, heck even sold the car for a few months. but now my career is taking off and I bought her back and I am currently in the process of buying the remaining parts I had sold off her back.

the build continues....... once again.

Ive moved into an 04+ So I no longer have.

I'm out finishing a motor swap and buttoning up my turbo today

Sold the spoiler after my 2002 bunt :(
I kept it for a while tho just Incase I had another.

Glad ur back on track with this bud. Keep us posted


I'm in Ontario, CA in the GTA
 
oh wow man! thats too bad about the 02. Hope you are enjoying the good life with the 04 lol.

few goodies I just bought for the GTP:

Aeromotive fuel rails, siemens 80# injectors, and an MPD spoiler....saved me a lot of money and am still tracking down some parts. I liked the fact that I am able to use the -10 AN line I had made from when I had the SDD Fatman fuel rails...with the new Aeromotive ones.

When they arrive this week, the GTP will be coming back home and the GTO will be going on the back burner until its paid off this summer lol. then its getting a new stroker motor.

After reading through all these sites I havent been on in years tracking down GTP parts and other peoples builds and all these other cars in the 10's.... and those that could get traction in the 9's. I have goose bumps becuase I dont have any idea what she will do when I do end up going WOT. I am sure there will be a lot of tuning issues to start off with but I have a base tune so she can atleast start and somewhat idle.

pulled the car cover off of her last week:

Thanks! so am I!

I stopped by the local "Hot Rod shop" and picked up a sump kit for the fuel tank. I swapped my factory plastic for a 2000 Metal one so I can weld it. the sump kit sticks down about 2.75 inches... I may have to section it an inch or perhaps 2 later on but I will fit it on the car and see how much ground clearance I will actually have. I dont plan on going over speed bumps everyday.... but still. it would suck to scrape the ground while driving the open road lol

here are a few of the sump and tank....

and turns out I'm a bit rusty at welding..havent done it in quite a while and I definately dont have the best welder on the market, but she does good when she warms up a bit lol

just need to finish up a few inches or so and check it for leaks, clean the inside tank, grind down the welds a smidge...then add the sealant to the inside and then spray the rust inhibitor on the outside and then paint the entire exterior. Its nice outside and I should be able to finish up this task tomorrow after work. Its reallly nice being able to do custom work in the garage.
 


I have a Weldon 2035 from my S10 drag truck, with the weldon voltage regulating box (so I can drive on street) and a custom switch panel that I am making for inside the center console
 
This build is awesome man but I wanna get down to the brass tax, what did this car dyno? What did it do in the 1/4 mile? If you don't know how about a good guess? Sweet build once again
