How much?
I like the blacked out trim.
I'm thinking $10,000, I'm sure I have spent more than that and doesn't account for any of my time.

Here's a list of what's been done since I got the car in November.

Engine/trans- 5.3/4L85e (engine has 90k trans has 105k) Fitech standalone LS system, G force transmission crossmember , S10 stainless headers, Jegs exhaust, new driveline and yoke. New starter and alternator from Napa and I'm sure I forgot some other parts.

Paint - This car was blasted and repainted so there is no rust. It's a $1500 paint job, a nice driver but nowhere near a show car. I didn't want another $8000 paint job that makes you afraid to drive a car.

Interior - New carpet, headliner, seat covers, seat belts. Upper door panels reupholstered to match seats and new lower panels that hold 2 sets of 5 1/4" speakers each side. Needs drivers power seat fixed, I'm hoping to get one this weekend. Power windows are slow but I have new motors to put in.

Suspension - New UMI springs and Monroe shocks.

This car is not perfect but it's a nice driver. Having the 4L85e and Fitech makes it easy to add more power if you like.
