You could leave it as it sits for a while and enjoy the car. Find what you like and don't like about it and change the things that you don't like first. If the engine was done right there's no reason to touch it. If it handles a little off work on the suspension.

What types of gear in the rear and what's the transmission?

I know a lot of guys around here with really fast S-10's. Some running 6's in the 8th with no problem.

Hey Tyler, welcome to the forum. That's a nice looking IROC from what I can see. So hopefully the deal goes good.

Good luck with the trade. Make sure it's top notch before you make the final decision. It would suck to get it and find out that it's a can of worms that'll give you a bunch of headaches.

ehh i looked at it...needs a few lil odds and ends..nothin major...gta tap a bolt hole in the left exhaust manifold or get anew one and get a truck latch.....nothing else really...car looks and runs really good...cept teh drivers door hangs a lil and the door skin and door are seperated a lil at the front..its a lil ****ed up but body is really straight...cept hood needs to b aligned....easy fix.....dont relaly need much tho....cnt wait to get it
