My first build thread project " bail money"

**bustedassz28** · 11-28-2014, 05:27 PM

Hey guys, this whole thing started cuz i was bored at work and was searching craigslist. The ad read 93 z28 full bolt ons needs a fuel pump and rear end i have the parts but cant finish something very important came up. So a few hours later i meet with the seller and find out he needs money by 10:00 am the next day because he has a warrant for his arrest, hence " project bail money"! Anyway, a few mins later and a few hundred less than his asking price, i brought this home......

Nice! Heck of a bargaining opportunity right there

Do you have some plans in mind, other than the necessary repairs, yet?

So, i start tinkering with the no start issue. Car starts and dies, seller said fuel pump, i thought vats, we were both wrong. The computer wasnt bolted down and apparantly was pulling on the dark blue fuel injector enable wire and it snapped. Spliced it back together and vroom !! Loud rumbling throuh the flowmaster at 1:30 a.m. Yea my neighbors love me. Take it for a spin and the rear end is toast. Go home, pull it apart; it kicked a c clip but the 4:11 ring and pinion is fine, its gonna get re installed in spring. For now i swapped i a complete 323 and added a girdle diff cover

The next day i cut off the flowmaster cat back, i woulda kept it but it had a loose baffle jingling around n sounded like crap. A $23 glasspack and im in business. Sounds pretty good with the pacesetter longtubes ory and !cats

Brand new wheels, never been torqued down, tires are about half life left. So, i grabbed a six pack, sawzall, bfh, cutoff wheel and guess what they fit haha! I made this little device to make things easier and uniform...

Next i did a battery relocation to the trunk, used 0 gauge wire and found this cool batt cutoff switch at oreilly's. It has a removable key and its perfect in the trunk lock hole......
