Thanks best 50 bucks I spent!! pulled them from a 08 GP after my buddy Dru did the same to his! 8) Might even spend some $$ later and get all of them redone. :wink:

got it on a trailer and sent it to the tuning shop!!

drove it off the trailer click play and yeah that's me.. :lol:

in the shop next to some bad *ss rides

got it running good!!, now to get it state certified! drove it around the block and it way worth the drama!!!! videos to come... :wink: and man I got a turbo in it's future

 

[85GPLef41]

Took it in to the state and got it certified!! 8) right across the way was the emissions testing center , took it in and passed! Put insurance, and went to dmv and got plates!! woo hoo! Between the suspension & drivetrain it feels like a whole nother beast! Trans shifts great and engine pulls really strong!! tried posting more pic but photobucket won't allow till I get more bandwidth.. :| Anyways best upgrade hands down and can't wait till I start modding the engine for more power. :evil:

can't wait till I start modding the engine for more power. :evil:

And I can't wait until you post some videos! 😛 Mod your bandwidth first!

ok broke down and paid for the upgrade on photobucket.. :| oh well!.. here are few more pics of it getting smog tested..

got it home and cleaned up a 27yr old paint job... :lol:

crappy phone videos.. Gotta convince my girl I need a GoPro... and again i'm a mechanic not a film producer!!


Couple runs down Colfax ave..nothing special


sorry again for the quality and no high speed runs etc etc.. I did run it up to 90mph on the highway and boy it ran great!! I keep getting thumbs from people!! 😀 Loving the t56 and ls1 combo.. I'll try to get some racing action from Bandimere later on! future projects I want swap out my gears from 3.42's to 4.10's ,long tube headers, ls6 intake, 243 heads & beehive springs and a cam. possibly turbo?? :evil:

I know it has to be a good feeling to finally get the car back on the road!

 

[307 Regal]

She's beautiful, man! Congrats! I bet that fuel injection is nice...

 

[85GPLef41]

it is totally a good feeling after it sitting for a grip! It runs and drives like night and day from when i drove it last, still have a bit more left but it'll be done soon. Still have paint and bodywork to do. That will most likely be a winter project ...and yeah the fuel injection is sweet! Starts right up, idles smooth, no gas smell wish i could say my mpg went up but it's kinda hard to keep of the go pedal!
