Looks pretty sweet. 202k miles that's like 320k km. That's scary high. Good to know these engines will last long. Lol. Any new mods coming up soon? What ever happened to the v8 phase? You decide not to buy one?

I dont have the will power to save up for a v8 lol. So I dump it all into my sixxer. I just found a donor 3.4 motor for $75. I'm going to buy it and tear it down to start fresh from the bare block. It's getting the aluminum heads from a Grand Am GT, cam, ls1 valvesprings and seats, headers, underdrive pulleys, MSD ignition, true dual exhaust, stage 3 clutch and new flywheel, and a Megasquirt piggyback fuel management system. I should easily run with LT1's after I get done with my hefty list of "to do's" lol.

In spring, if everything goes as planned, I'm going to do a t-top conversion, put an SS hood and SS wing on it and my girlfriends brother is going to paint it for me for $1500. He mixes his own paint. I know it won't last more than 10 years or so, but for what I want, it'll be great. I've seen a lot of cars he's painted and they all look gorgeous. Pretty soon, my car will be garaged, so I won't need to worry about it sun fading or getting nasty in winter.

This is the general idea. I'll keep my burgundy color, add black hockey stripes, paint the vent of the hood black, the bucket lights and grill will go gloss black instead of satin, the roof panel behind the t-tops will be black, the mirrors will be black, and the door handles will be black.

Like so:
