85 Vette pics
I'm waiting for the weather to break here it's been below zero so working on the car ain't happening. I got a ported and polished TPI and a set of ceramic coated hooker headers that are killing sitting in their boxes. So I would like to see what some of you guys with 85's have done with your vettes from the outside and under the hood.

Well, it's pretty darn cold here too.
The '85 is in storage, but here's some old pics I took of
previous mods I did.
Enjoy.
Dreamin' of warm summer days.........

- ported plenium
- TPIS headers
- magnaflow catback
- int swap from red to black
- full stereo
- ZR1 style wheels
- C5 brakes
- custom tune from TPIS
- empty pocket and (fortunatly) happy wife... She wanted the restoration as much as me
Sleeping in it's new room.
Start of the interior swap and stereo install.
Touch screen and black guts now in.
Idea of the amp and sub layout.
Engine install (reminds me that I need some completed pics)
