Default My 94 convertible I got for $500.... 2 years of progress!

What's up guys n gals. I mostly lurk and build my knowledge base from all that is posted here. But I do want to pop in and post a bit of what I've done to my project.

Like I said I picked it up for $500, from a friend of the family. Sat for almost 2 years before I got it, and it was in poor shape when I got it. I've replaced a slew of components and now it's driving like a dream, for a 27 year old car!

Here's a list on everything i can recall that I've fixed on it to get it running and what I've replaced performance-wise.

Fuel pump
Alternator
valve cover gaskets
KYB AGX adjustable front gas struts
180° thermostat
IAC valve
MAP sensor
A/C delete pulley
Throttle body bypass
Seafoam treatment
Duralast Professional brake pads
eBay CAI
Cat delete
Flowmaster 80 series muffler with dual exhaust tip
NP Boosted coil packs and 10mm wires for the 3800 series
Autolite iridium spark plugs
ICM
Kuhmo Solus performance tires
camshaft sensor
oil pan gasket
Head gaskets
Intake manifold gaskets
Fuel filter
Radiator and hoses
Pacesetter headers
Jet stage 2 performance module
Flush Transmission fluid, filter and fill
Flush rear end gear oil and fill
ACDelco Professional sway bar links
Moog sway bar bushings
Founders performance rear control arms and panhard bar
South Bay 19# fuel injectors
South Bay adj. fuel pressure regulator for the 305 v8
1 piece aluminum driveshaft from SS model
KYB gas-a-just front struts
Moog upper and lower control arm bushings
ACDelco Professional upper and lower ball joints
Moog inner and outer tie rods
Rebuilt hydraulic arms for soft top

and to make it unique and a head turner I've added
New soft top
Design Covers custom seat covers
Rewrapped headliner
Pioneer single din deck
Kenwood speakers
JL Audio 500w mono amp
JL Audio 10"subwoofer and modded box to sit on transmission hump
Upper dash replacement
Corvette C5 Z06 17" wheels
Opt7 Aura Pro Led underglow and floorboard lights
RK Sport hood scoop
Rally stripes.... with a $35 roll of vinyl from eBay
Installed 9005 &9006 bulbs in sealed headlight housings
LED yellow spot beam foglights
Custom engine paint job
