Man did I miss forums. Been active in a couple communities since 2006 or so depending on what car I had at the time. TCCoA, Spec V Board, Bimmerforums, LS1Tech, Corvetteforum, M3Post...you name it. I've done a couple of swaps over the years, maybe I'll make a post in the intro section.
Anyhow, feels good to be out of the Facebook cesspool and back onto a place where there are normal enthusiasts.
Back to the action: I actually bought this pig back in September of 2020, so the posts show progress as I went up to this point.
2011 Interceptor in my favorite shade of NY State Police Trooper Blue. Trak-Lok axle, most likely 3.27 gears.
I actually looked at a 2009 that the guy was also selling, but between a sloppy repaint and generally trashed interior I passed on that one.
This one has a solid body, a few superficial rust spots with solid metal underneath that I'll fix. The paint should clean up with a polish and the interior isn't too bad, just needs a heavy vacuum and wash.
The 4.6 pulls strong and I was told the trans was recently rebuilt. Doesn't matter to me since those are both coming out, but would be nice to recoup some funds by selling those. It also has new brakes up front, and snow tires with decent tread on them.
First up is ripping off the light bar, and boy oh boy you guys should hear the deer whistle on this thing that turns on with the parking/headlights.
More to come!
