This is a Looooooongterm project, and probably wont actually happen for a while until I feel comfortable dropping the 10k or so.
But for now, I'll just upload pics and brag about it.... hahaha bragging about an '85 poor mans porsche.
Anyway, found it one day on CL for $3000. I was looking for a cool project, something different. Not necessarily the fastest thing (because I'm not rich)
LS swap parts are available, and its a fairly easy swap.
Went and checked it out, drove it. And HAD to take it home. Have had it for a year now, and I love it. So I pretty much drive it every day.
2.5, 5spd. Stock other than
-Short throw shifter
-Momo Prototipo steering wheel
-Made the factory shift handle to accept and threaded knob and added an MGW C6R knob. I had one in my GTO and loved it so I bought one for this.

New chit....MUCH needed. I sold the old steering wheel and paid for the new swap. so that was cool.
Some updated Speedhut gauges will replace the factory crayola yellow VDO's will probably come after the swap
