>Post your projects
For the past few weeks been working on this pontiac I picked up for $1300. My '77 Fire bird base has factory T-tops, an l34 350 v8 (Which isn't much) and needs only minor work done. In the process sanding, cutting out rust, interior refurbishment and perhaps pulling the engine apart which hasn't been disassembled since it rolled of the line. I'm actually surprised that a Fire bird Base was available in T-tops but it must've been an expensive option as I've seen few Trans am's, let alone Base Fire Birds with them. As for the paint, I'm thinking about going with factory Starlight Black but every man and his fucking dog does that so I'm thinking maybe black/purple iridescent. What would you do?

Supra is 95% done, the ignition module is out getting rebuilt and its basically finished. Hilux is still in pieces because every time i fix something 2 more fucking things break

But anon, Hilux's are indestructible, you must own the alternately named tacoma? (It loses its durablity with the name change).

nope, legit 1981 Hilux. bought it from a farmer with a bad trans and warped head, put in a 40,000km engine, transmission, and trasfercase. fuel pump and carb died on donor engine, replaced them with junkyard ones, ran fine then started running like shit in spring. pulled the right rear axle to replace the axle seal, brake line for the wheel cylinder broke in half and the oil slinger in the diff dislodged so the axle cant even go back in and i have to take the diff apart. got so frustrated i left it on jackstands with no wheels in the driveway with a cover until summer lol

I think metallic silver always looks good on classics.

>to drop the pan you need to disconnect everything as if you're doing an engine swap and then lift the cunt a few inches and then put everything back after you've fixed your problem
>not confident in my ability to do something like this in a weekend when my livelihood depends on this car functioning the following Monday
>I always think I'm fully prepared for projects and always have to run to the parts store halfway through and that's why I had two cars but now I only have one
Just fuck my anxiety up

1994 530i purchased in March for $400.
Runs and drives, but I won't have time to start restoring it until the summer. Someday I want to supercharge the engine. Someday after that I'll do an electric conversion.

Got this guy currently.
97 C3500
$500
Needs a valve job in the near future.
Anyone know how to convert a TBI 350 into a Vortec 350? I have a extra TBI 350 laying around but it doesn't match up to the current Vortec set up. The heads and fuel system Andre different.
