Well, I have regretted selling a certain car of mine since I sold it a few months back. My brother-in-law bought it so it is even worse because I have to see it all the time. So, I got another...
(yeah, he put the rims on wrong, fronts and rears are swapped)

Looks a little rougher than my old one but it is actually in a lot better shape. There is not a single spot of rust on this thing, mainly because it is a southern Missouri car I would assume. Only sucky thing is it used to be red and the P.O. spray painted it flat white. Not a huge deal as I am going to go arctic white with it. My plan was to FINALLY put my LM7/4L80E to use but Skye put a stop to that really quickly as she wants the Mach One to be ready for summer. Therefore, I have to keep this a running/driving vehicle or she is going to get a fucking micro-pig (yeah, tiny little pig, I don't know...) and I don't want one of those so... Once all the sheet metal work is done on the Mach One and the engine/trans are in along with the interior, I can do whatever I want with it.
Only immediate things are the brakes because it doesn't have any. You can see the rotors next to the car and the calipers are in the hatch area. So, I am going to get the brakes on it, switch the wheels back and then drive it, oh and Plasti-dip the centers of the wheels ;) I was told it had a MPFI setup on it and a garrett turbo but that is not the case, however it did come with those parts, which I am selling because I don't plan to keep the G54B in there for a long time anyways. He did give me about $2500 in receipts for the rebuilt engine, serviced rear diff., serviced trans, Fydanza flywheel, Spec stage 3+ clutch and cooling system flush. He says it has forged pistons and and rods it doesn't say anything about those in the receipts, just says "customer supplied pistons/connecting rods, no warranty".
