Car is actually almost done! Timing and motor assembly began today! Rebuild includes new bearings, knife edge and wpc treated crank, Powell trapdoor oil pan with turbo return bung, revised lk9 intake mani, oil pressure gauge and much more. Also started ordering parts for 5x114.3 conversion, new lsj hubs redrilled, and rear drum swap on the way. Prob gonna rebuild my floating powell front rotors with new hardware and redrill hats to 114.3. Also got a few other goodies for when car comes home.
TWM sts
Redline goods shift and ebrake boots
Depo Gen 4 with 8k hids
Rear lsj calipers (going to be pc'd green)
Powell floaters and BBK brackets (previous car sat outside hence surface rust)
Momo airmetal ebrake handle
A couple of these, so there's no confusion lol
Also got TC front top grill (not going to run bottom to show off nice werks intercooler), and zzp breather cap.

Nice little stack you got going bro. Just a heads up though, If I were you I'd get the 6k hids for those depos. I hate my 8k's that came with mine they are way too blue.
Shot this one after I sprayed my intake and before I put the coil cover on.

I think I'm just gunna save up for a while and buy a complete Turbo kit. Being in school I can't exactly afford any major mistakes done to the car. I know I'll probably have things here and there, but hopefully they'll just be minor

What the hell lip is that? Too dark, I can barely see it. Is that the GM one?
*oh, never mind I saw the other post where you say it something you put together, and refuse to tell anyone how. Which totally is your prerogative to do man, so i ain't mad at ya....but I will say it looks nice, you have to get the side skirts man.

you'll still be slow cody! i got my fingers crossed that i get a nice job here soon and can make some moves this year and got some trick up my sleeve. the cobalt is paid off so that is staying as my slightly modded DD but i'm going back and forth on either a bike, a '06 GTO, a C5/C6 vette, or a brand new lifted 2500HD
