The goal for this car was to build a car that runs much better than a stock original car but still to obtain the stock show quality and original appearence down to the most minor details, and to have the car where even the keenest of all GN guys could not tell this car had anything that was not original.
The body and interior of the car is mint. The paint is obviously brand new and is a very quality job thats slick as a babies but. The interior is completely restored and anything that had even minor wear was replaced. The carpet, steering wheel, shifter handle, floor mats, visors, and headliner have all been replaced with new. The headliner is a GBody parts ABS. The weatherstripping has all been replaced as well. The factory tach and boost gauge work properly. The only things that dont work are the factory power antenna and the AC needs to be charged.
The car is highly optioned with all power doors, Concert Sound, cruise, Factory Alarm (THAT WORKS!!), power trunk, tilt, POSI rear, etc.
I would encourage you to read through the link to follow what all was done to the car and why but here is a list of things done to the drivetrain:
Engine:
Brand new shortblock by JRMotorsports
.030 over Kirban stock replacement pistons
Balanced rotating assembly
Line honed and crack checked
Resized 2DOT Roods
File Fit Molly rings
King Bearings
Lightly Ported Heads with Oversized Stainless valves
204/214 Cam with Comp Lifters
Double roller timing chain
Transmission:
Extreme Automatics Rebuild (Brand New)
Stock sized and appearing Converter with a little more stall speed built into it (BRAND NEW)
New stock trans cooler lines
Turbo and Exhaust:
Turbo is a Stage 2 (58mm wheel) .82 housing (STOCK APPEARING)
Ported Exuahst Elbow (GBodyParts)
Cat Removed
Stock Appearing exhaust that flows nicely and has painted black tailpipes like they came originally
Fuel System:
Walboro 340 fuel pump
Delphi 50lb injectors (flow matched and painted satin black to look like stock injectors)
Brand new ECM
Turbo Tweak E85 chip
Stock Appearing Adjustable fuel pressure regulator
I put a lot of detail and thought into this build right down to the grey valve stem caps. It looks bone stock and completely original. The entire drivetrain is new from the front to the rear. The posi rear has new fluid in it as well as new big brake shoes and the 85 S10 wheel cylinders. The front brakes are also new with new pads and rotors. If you dont have E85 available in your area, Eric can easily switch this car back to 93 gas for you. The engine bay is nt overdone, it's clean but not overdone, becuase I wanted it to look original like a clean 57K mile car should.
The paint was done by OnefastGN (Tony) and he has done many TR's. His work is AWESOME!!! There are before and after shots of the car so you can see the car was rust free prior to paint. No bondo or anything like that was needed on the car. Tony applied new rock gaurd on the car like was originally on it. The car was undercoated from the factory as well.
Id like this car to go to someone that will drive it and enjoy taking it to car shows and entering in the Original/restored class. Thats what I built it for. I wanted something fun for my boy and I to cruise and go to car shows while SINFULL was down for upgrades. It's not a 10 second car, nor did I want it to be. It's never been down the track so I have no idea what it may run. It's not built for that. It's buit to be driven and enjoyed. The car will wax a Mustang with no problem and cruises down the road very nicely with no problems. Shocks are new black ones that I peeled the Gabriel sticker off so they look original. This is a very nice car.
Athough they arent on in the pics, the hood emblems are on the car now.
I'm not a professional photographer and my camera is far from being anything that can make the car look better than what it is. You'd have to see the car in person fr yourself, it's absolutely beautiful. I'll be selling the car for $17,500 and I'm extremely firm at that price. This build has cost me right at $23K so far. Just need to move onto my next and final build and spend some time with SINFULL this summer. You can contact me here or call me at 56three-9fourzero-234seven ------Jeremy
