Ok guys I am posting picks of building my car. I have about three days maybe 12 hours total on this Build of actual of the car. I am in a build off.... So here are pics of the car and what I have been doing. I am really just currently deconstructing. The build will have a corvette c6 front and C5 rear suspension and a tube chassis, and c5 z06 rims that are 17/18. The powertrain I have is a 5.3 out of an 04 silverado. the trans is a boxster S unit. I also have a 70mm turbo for the engine. I have purchased but am still waiting on the adapter. Will probably be extending the rear of the car at least 5-8 inches as I would like to use the stock accesorys. or I would like to keep the power streering pump at least and the alternator. I am a bigger guy and really cannot sacrifice any room inside. Plus I would like a nice stereo in there(and a hot woman). And that is about it. I am just a one man operation building this car out of his garage. I do not own a shop. I will be doing all of the work myself or as much as possible. I realize I am in a build off but really this is cheap entertainment for me. So please lets keep it entertaining. Currently in Omaha NE and no one knows what this car is. but they do think its cute and want one...lol. I have not seen one of these on the road in years. I have 2. This red one I bought with the intentions of flipping and making some quick money. After about 6 weeks of trying to sort out the engine my patience and money I had allocated for this car was done. So it became the focus of the build only becuase it was titled in Ne and would not have go through inspection. I realize I am in way over my head here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) thats where i am comfortable. The welding on the car will be conducted by a local professional that works on nuclear reactors until I am comfortable I can do it but its really not that hard and I am getting better. While I am currently on 31 total hours of work time. I have about 6 months of research into the car putting together a broad stroke design and I do not have every aspect of this car figured out in my head. I deal with the details as they arise! this might seam maddning to some of you but please bare with me!
The details I have not figured out yet are! Yes I realize some of this stuff is a few hours google searching. Wiring harness: I have spent alot of time rewiring some of the factory porsche unit! I would like to ditch and update the whole thing! Anyone know a good one I could buy that will run the lights, engine, radio, and maybe a hvac system one day. Or at least an updated fuse boxe and I will wire and soldier one together? Would like to stay in the $400 range Boxster Trans: I really have a bare boxster trans I do not know what it takes to get it shifting entirely in my car, or how much it will cost? Radiator with fans: I have not found one yet or looked too deaply into this. When I get closer to needing it which will be soon I will. I just need the radiator I am not buying a kit? I see these pop up for a vette on craigs sometimes. really like the Factory 5 gtm install of these thoughts opinions? Dollar figure? Intercooler: I just haven't bought one and the tubing yet ECU: the fianl tuning willl be done by a professinal shop with dyno Fender Flares: I really like the plastic/riveted on look! Love liberty walk stuff!! Rear axles: will need porsche to corvette hubs methanol kit/80#injectors/bosche 044 fuel pump/tires/5 point belts/600hp rated clutch probably will stuff at least 7 speakers into the car The whole engine build is a few months away! though I might scrap the turbo system and build a destroked ls engine that revs as it would be more suited to the boxster trans either way 500whp should be attainable. I just love high revving engines but boost builds power cheap My toying with a dream additions (probably not going to make it) keyless push buttom start/power windows/locks Vintage heat and A/C Ring and pinion swap/lsd for trans My budgete is about 2-300 a week on top of what I have bought!
