Group Beige Turbo LS Swap

today i drove to Milwaukee and met with a member, i pulled some GT trim from the car he had. I really wanted to have GT trim on this car as I really dont like chrome at all. Im lucky to have found this!

I'm not sure I really like the beige spoiler. I think black would have contrasted better and matched up with your fancy trim

it was spray bombed black over red over who knows. i think it looks good, i thought it stuck out to much before. to each his own :)
 
Really cool car!!The carbonfiber hood looks amazing, where did you buy it?Like that you whent for the original colour, it looks amazing when its nice and shiny:)
Post pictures along the thread also, is much easier to follow then..

Out of pure curiosity, what happend to the silver 242?
 
the silver shell is going to a friend, i wanted to start fresh with a new shell. no sunroof, i wanted my trim back the list of reasons goes on.
 
The 6.0 was dropped in saturday. Along with the original engine being pulled, all the supension being swapped from one car to another. The help of 4 guys was great, garage still smells like dead gerbils and horse **** thanks Smith lol!<a href=http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii234/2fast242gt/?action=view&current=20130908_015430.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii234/2fast242gt/20130908_015430.jpg border=0 alt=></a>

the engine bay needs cleaning really bad! but it seems like the paint will clean up very nicely.
 
Well lots of progress! The car runs great after a quick and dirt test wireing.
Now the ecu is permently mounted on the fire wall. Now I'm focusing on cleaning wiring and then the front brake upgrade. Ecodes were also mounted and wired. Also installed the best black dash I could find, its not crack free by any means but its "niceish."
