well this weekend i took possession of the 97GT
now why do i call it Project Frankenstein? well name a year and the car probably has a part lol
the engine is from a '98 or '99 GTP it came out of a 97 GTP coupe that did a barrel role and went end over and smashed into a tree. But it does not have the extra vacuum tree on the supercharger so it was replaced at some point
the transmission is from a 2001 SE but it's really a 2000 GT 4t65 3.29 final drive
engine bay wiring harness from a 97 GTP sedan
interior is from a 98 GT sedan charcoal to replace the tan. it has a manual drivers seat and map pocket
radio, struts, brakes, rims, and tires are from my old 2001 GT coupe that had progressive rate springs like a regal from the factory part of the fleet conversion avis did
the cat back is a custom made 2 1/4 the res replaced with a glass pack from a 2001 4 door
has a ZZP 1.0, open cone, cat and u-bend delete
how it looked like before the owner left his house
after 300 miles of being on a trailer during a Michigan winter
plans are to rebuild the 97 4t65-HD that came with the car as the trans currently in has no over drive. it works ever now and then when what is left of the spines catch.
install the front and rear strut tower braces from the 99
install the headlights and clear corners from the 99
install the SLP front sway bar i removed form the GTX
install SLP 1.8 rockers from the GTX
finish swapping the interior to charcoal. (dash will also replace heater core at this time, seat belts, and rear package shelf)
install HUD cutting the dash with it out of the car will be easier
swap in a DIC or not they are cool but pretty much worthless besides pretty lights
