Other Mods:"angel eye" LED ring headlights, tinted taillights, arieal hole deleted, debadged all except the caprice stand up bonnet emblem, red hsv center caps on wheels (ill be getting rid of them and replacing them with caprice ones), 20% tint, guards have been rolled
Future mods: *the engine needs a rebuild which is what im saving for now, i have 2 ideas in mind but im not going to commit to either idea until i have the 20k as a start base,
idea #1 rebuild it as a high comp 383 with SRE tunnel ram manifold (twin filters out the bonnet = PORN!)
idea #2 rebuild the 346 low comp for a t51r LS1 single turbo kit
* gearbox wise depends on what engine combo i go with for the 383 ill go a manualised T400 and for the turbo ill go with a t56 6speed manual and tripple plate button clutch.
*also been thinking to put a pink pearl through the cherry black to REALLY make it pop
anyway thats most of the details heres some pics and a couple vids aswell
