Complete Chevrolet Performance Oe corvette accessory drive kit from summit. For the money you can’t beat this (IMO) Black>bare aluminum
Went with Hookers 3” exhaust kit. Haven’t installed yet but looks really nice
It's a good system. Little barky on top but perfect idle and cruising sound. 👍
The entire interior needs to be redone but I’ve decided to just take care of small things and focus on getting the car back running and driving. I figured I can work on the interior while I drive it.
The floor boards didn’t look too bad besides the driver side which I replaced. The rest of it will get Por-15 along with some dynamat and new carpet.
Found some buckets out of a late model Mini Cooper that don’t look too bad. I had to fab some riser brackets to get them to sit level.

Rebuilt the entire front suspension, All new bushings, ball joints, inner,outer tie rods, center link, pitman arm, idler arm and quick ratio steering box. I also bought a brand new Jeep steering shaft
I went with 2” drop spindles and Moog 5660 springs. I was worried about the ride height being where I wanted it, but it turned out to be near perfect. I didn’t want to take those springs back out to cut a coil. Kyb Gas a just shocks as well.
Did not want to have to deal with this again
Should be night and day difference from the stock clapped out suspension lol

New calipers, rotors and pads from Powerstop. One day I’ll have some real wilwoods haha.
Here’s the bread and butter to me. I was originally gonna opt for a tko600 but said F it and bought the magnum. I’m sure it’ll be worth it and I plan on driving this car as much as I can. 2.66 first, I think it has the better ratios of the two. Imo
