Default My 95 build-up (slowly but surely)

Well last June I trade my Sunfire for my 95 Camaro. It's been quite the money pit as I've gone through the whole car pretty much. It started with head gaskets and is finally nearly the end of the "fix whats broken" stage. After this I have hopes of buying a separate engine and doing a complete overhaul. The list of things I've replaced this year are:
  • Head gaskets and top and gaskets
  • Fuel Pump
  • Transmission
  • wheel bearings
  • Brakes all around
  • Wheels
  • Springs and struts
It's at the 215,000 mile mark and it runs great! Here are some pictures I have throughout the project from the day I got it to now:

I didn't change the struts or shocks but I went with ksport lowering springs, I'm surprised it actually rides well for being low...I just scrape a lot!

It's not just about shocks (granted, your stock ones probably won't last that long with the lowering springs). Have you thought about LCAs and adjustable panhard?
