It won't be red for long! I have transfer alot of parts from the '91/'84 onto it already with the help of TurboJimi. We will take some picks next week when we swap more parts. BTW, I can write a tech article about adapting a Z28 radiator into a V6 car. We had to do some interesting hose routing!

Whenever you guys swap more parts, give me a call or post it up. I promise I'll be able to stay longer and help. I had to pick up that subaru that still hasn't sold.

About 25mpg great! In contrast, the '84 Z was getting about 10 - 12mpg! 
Don't worry, V8 power will be coming soon!

would be cool to do another one this year....one where all the guys from OR could make it up too. |
