Project junkyard fun

[Marley4us]

I have had the garbage Sparco Sprint seat for a while, Napalm sweat has killed it, so my Fiance said she would try to re upulster it for me! Here is the tear down!

[Marley4us]

One of my Co-workers gave me there old engine stand, as I had given mine away to a friend who needed it. Time to Paint and have fun with her.

Fiance I think is trying to be sneaky and get me a Birthday gift that will knock my socks off, 5.3 chevy motor, If she really gets it for me, I will tear it down and do a Turbo setup and a T56. Man this could be a sweet car when it is done!

Cool project, you must like green too.

I am interested in how the seat turns out, I have a beat up one that needs new foam and cover as well.

pretty fun build you have going there.    I had a 99 Jeep Cherokee a few years ago and the head liner was shit so I went to the fabric store and got some awesome green argyle fabric and redid the top with that.   I really cant have that kind of fun with my FD.  Digging the Budwiser shifter haha.

Whoever had that engine did not do regularly scheduled oil changes, hah.

venom- ya the lack of interior and what was given with the car was kinda trash had me and my wife throw some stuff together to make it look a lil nicer and fun to look at. Any pics of your old setup with the green argyle that sounds dope!  I had teal argyle pieces on my NB miata when I had that car. The shifter was for my buddies 71 Elcamino with a bored out big block but his new shifter wont work with it, causes interference so I put it on my car lol.

digi- No sludge at all in the motor oil was fairly clean. but man ya old work truck, I think the truck had 130k on it. and I am glad I am checking and replacing all the gaskets etc. good thing these blocks are damn near indestructable junkyard blocks with 300k and sludge are putting out over 1000hp hahahah I only want 500-700hp not even trippin.
