Default updates on my car and others

lately my internet has been down thats why there hasnt been any updates or general posting.. anyways the ar went up to the builders house last week, and got it all pulled apart, Block is getting bored over a new set of pistons and rings are going in. The tranny now grinds going into 4th so an automatic maybe coming in the near future.

My brother in law picked up a california 88 5spd grey interior for 2500$. It has a 3g alternator swap and exhaust. So far we have re wired the alterntor, new starter solonoid, replaced the head gaskets/intake gaskets, everything in the motor was repainted. Next it goes to a body shop to check the underside as its pretty fubard



lastly here is a teaser pic of my buddies freshly painted snakeskin green s197
