quote Originally posted by motoracer838: I swear I'm turning into Stacy David of Gearz, he has more unfinished projects than time, some how I'm up to 4(at least I'm driving 2 of them, with 1 more coming on line this summer.) not counting 2 vintage motocross bikes I need to put back together and sell. The upside, the bikes should just about pay for the remaining hard parts. The Vette is an excellent example of how bad CoPart's fee's are, after about a month of bidding on Vette's I won the auction on this one. (not my first win, or choice, couldn't reach an agreement on price with the seller on a Grand Sport I won the bid on, it was a reserve auction, like this car) My winning bid was $1,300, after some offers and counter offers , ended up at $1,600, after taxes and fees it was $2,400. Here's a rundown of where the money has gone so far... I'm going to continue to update the list as I add parts also remembered a couple of small things I had to do to get the car off the trailer. $1,300, 84 Fiero rebody, ebay $600, delivery $2,400, 98 Vette, CoPart $300, to go get it $100, Replacement chip key, even though CoPart had the car powered up to display the mileage in the listing, they somehow didn't have the key... $90, Right upper A arm, to replace the broken one. $1,700, Porsche Transaxle shifter and cables $100, to go get it $500, C6 dash $569, Wheels, Ebay/ with shipping $512, Tires, Ebay/ with shipping $68, Mount and balance $8,239, so far... Still needed... $2,000, Ride Tech C5 coilover kit $1,800, engine to trans adapter, with clutch upgrade, I'm looking at working with a local machinist I do projects with from time time, so this should come in lower $400 approx for steering rack, to replace the damaged one. $700 Davies Craig electric water pump, controller and manifold kit. $250, approx for Sebring windshield, see Bozzie's awesome build for info. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum3/HTML/000135.html That covers most of the "hardparts" I'm not even going to try to estimate what I'm going to spend on the exhaust (including a set of 180 degree set of bundle of snakes headers, interior and materials for creating the body... While I was in Houston picking up the Vette, I took a little time to do some sight seeing. You really don't get a feel for how big this thing is until your standing under it... Joe

You might as well have gotten my old 97 C5.... thing ran like a beast,,,, that is until some dumb woman ran a red light. BTW you done anything with those C6 wheels? the ones on my 05 are looking a lil chewed up.

Ok, so it's a year latter and I still haven't started working on it, doesn't mean I can't upgrade some things along the way, or I really need to stay off Craigslist...

Just scored a set of IForged TE14s wheels in 18X9.5 front and 19X11 rear with Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 tires in 275/35/18 front and 325/30/19 rear. the tires have very little milage, there are still signs of the nubs in the tread...

this gives an idea how the ZR1 wheels would look.

And with the IForged... I like the new wheels... Looks like the ZR1 wheels are going on the Trans Am... Hell, I've got so many wheels and tires these days, I could start a tire store.
Cheers Beers n Gearz. Joe
