So lets start by saying some may like and other may not. It would be nice to not get to nasty with comments. I understand some of my choices would not be what others would make but it is what i like in the end.
Here is what she looked like when i bought it.
1st off the exterior is going from a nice pear white to a Planet color Barrett Jackson Yellow Jacket.. Hence the build name. I plan to keep the front and rear stock for the 87 with one minor mod to the 3rd break light BRICK. I will post pictures of that as we make the mod to a cut in light.
Here are a couple pictures as we strip it down.
I have very little body work needed as well as 99.9% rust free. but will post pictures as we move on.
As for the Interior that has caused a lot of family discussion. My plan was to keep it blue with yellow accents to match the exterior. My son says no must change it all to black inside with yellow accents. Due to the fact that i needed to replace a drivers side rear window, Hatch struts, and rear k frame. we stripped out the back half of the car. So now since its out i will be changing the color now instead of later. This will not be going back in untill all those other items are fixed. So on the down side i will have all black panels with yellow accents and BLUE cloth seats an carpet until the budget allows for new leather skins an carpet.
Will be putting all new bushing in the rear end that i have before i install it. This one i am told is the JZA70 Torsen diff swap. I would like to know for sure so if anyone knows what i need to look for let me know.
When all is said and done i HOPE to have a freshly rebuilt 7M GTE, pushing 400-450 that will stand out in a group.
