bob88 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I just wanted to say thanks for all the information you guys put up on this site, it helped me out a lot and without it im sure i couldn't ever have done it. Im selling the Z, it was fun, but i got an offer for a 97 firebird formula with an LT1 from a family freind and my little brother needs the garage space for his 65 mustang. Another thing i learned is that if you're even thinking about doing this swap seriously look in to buying one thats already done, im losing a bunch of money on it, but thats how it goes . I did it for the learning experience, I got the Z when i turned 16 and hadn't ever even changed oil before. With help from you guys, the jags that run book and a couple freinds i did it. Im selling it to a freind so i get to see him dump rediculous amounts of money into it now. So anyways, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 This board certainly is a wealth of helpful knowledge. You are correct, building a car is a money losing proposition regardless what we see on Wrecks to Riches on Speed TV. Building your Z at 16 years old is an amazing accomplishment, you should be very proud of yourself. I bought my Z car already built and have spent the past year rebuilding much of it and have just started the LT1 engine swap. This is not my first project car and if I had it to do this one all over again I would not have bought a prebuilt one. Sure, its easier to have someone else do the work and spend the money, but there is nothing like being able to say "Yes I built that". I'm sure you'll enjoy the Firebird, but I but you'll be altering it very soon. Hotrodding gets in your blood and there is no way to remove it.
