Here's my winter project. Got big plans for her, v8 swap, tc rearend, and hopefully a t5. What do ya think? I'll try and get better pics when it stops raining here.

Here's a few shots of the engine bay, as well as a pic of the interior. Definitely in need of a good cleaning. Also, you can't really tell from the pics, but a lot of the trim is missing because I'm in the process of swapping out the digital cluster for an anolog. Interior is in pretty good shape though, with the exception of the dash being pretty cracked up.

Except for the V6 and lack of floor shifter, that car is my car's twin! It looks like you have a good starting point there. I hope you can get a lot of work done on it and share the pics with us.

Thanks guys. Hopefully the 3.8 will be gone soon. And if I have my way, the column shifter will go with it. I just picked up the 302 block yesterday, so I got a lot of work ahead of me.

You're more than welcome anytime man. Not only is it dry, but I got the thermostat out there set at a comfortable 55 degrees. Sure beats the hell outta crawling around in the snow!
