You should pull the rotors and paint the hats black...really cleans them up. Looking good!

I'll probably be switching to drilled and slotted rotors soon, but that is a big improvement!

Luxury liner and a new hvac actuator should be here next week, then I can throw the black interior in and call it "done".

got the type r's wired up.

Lol, I think your pics went from being off 90* to being off 180*! :P

Nice looking mods though!

Very Cool. Nice resurrection.

traksta15

thanks man!!

Finally got the interior put back together/cleaned up and the stereo wired up (temporarily that is)





took her for a short drive, it's much quieter than before (not sure if it's because of the quieter exhaust or the sound deadening) but either way it's an improvement.

Sorry for the delay guys, been busy with other projects. I decided to drive my vette the other day and the radio and ac won't come on. I replaced the fuse for the radio and it's working fine now, but the heat/air won't come on. I checked the fuse for it (18 under the passenger floorboard iirc) and it wasn't getting any power with the acc on or the car running. What could be the issue?

Small update, put the car up for sale, decided to fix some things on it in the mean time.

-Replaced the air filter
-Ordered some new front/rear speakers
-Replaced a radiator hose that came loose while driving down the highway (fun).
-Replaced the ignition switch which fixed my turn signal/ac issues and cleared several
codes for me.
-Lowered the rear a bit, not much, under an inch.

I'll be wrapping some interior pieces in carbon fiber tonight just to see how it looks, it's a cheap enough mod so I figured why not.

Why selling? It looked like you had a fun project going there...

You did a lot of work to turn around and sell. What gives?

I have a truck that's my daily and it's far more comfortable/quiet for long drives, i've had it longer and i'm moving in the near future and don't need a daily driver and a toy car too. I've thought about selling the truck and keeping the vette but who knows.

Another small update:

Played around with some cheap carbon fiber from amazon, still getting the hang of it but so far it's not too bad to work with.
