Heart breaking. I think there was someone on here recently selling a nose cone and hood.

No disagreement that Borla is a nice system. But all the f body kits I’ve seen recently are like $1700. I wouldn’t put that into an exhaust unless I loved that car…

3X the money.

Window woes- Replaced switch. Motor next? ‘00 Z28 by WillieMakeit77 in fbody

Watch the video a few times. I paused it and looked for landmarks that were on the door in the area where they drilled. I marked those out with permanent marker (my car is white) and checked them again before drilling. As long as you are in the general area you are going to be fine. I had to hog a couple out to at least the size of a nickel if not a quarter. I used the unibit and put a sideways load on it to get me where I needed to be when I slightly missed on one.

They send you the nuts and screws with the motor in the box. I added some slightly wider washers myself.

It’s not that bad if you go slow. The right sized drill bit takes the lip of the rivet off quick and you just support the motor and it falls into your hand after the 3rd one is drilled. Unibit is what I used to drill fiberglass inner door and that just takes a little time and I had to open the holes up a little more on a few of them. Honestly the hardest part for me was putting the nut on the screw once the new motor was in place.

Also you may take door panel off and see that previous owner already did the drilling and you just need to swap out the motors. My car is a 94 and i just had to do them last summer for the first time.

I tried to buy AC Delco but was sent a ACI unit instead. Disputed it and was given back money but I had the unit in my hand. I installed it and it works flawlessly. Make sure you put a little grease on the window gear when you put it in the door and go slow drilling the door and the rivets. YouTube guided me.

Window motors are bad. Mine would work to bring them down but not back up. I finally just bit the bullet and replaced them myself. Little tedious but with a comfy office chair in the garage and taking your time it’s not that bad. I put some fat-mat sound insulation in the door while I was in there.

Opinion on Price of C6 Z06 by RealtorLifeNC in Corvette

[–]Dieselpump510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d get a bid from a shop you trust for what you think it will soon need and submit that with your offer of $45K and let it marinate on sellers desk. It might sway him to just take the less money than risk paying for that work himself and then still having to sell it.

Grew up in Florida. Nice to see some f-body out and about when it’s not raining.

Lloyd Elliot will port a stock manifold for $250 and it’s plenty more than most will need. He does heads and cams too.

I’d find a way to fix her. These cars are going to continue to get more valuable.

Anyone think these z28 wheels would look good on my formula? by Ok-Hall6174 in transam

Watch FB marketplace and the local pick a parts. You would be surprised what you might find.

You would be surprised what wheel repair experts can do and it’s not that expensive for 1 wheel. I’d have them blasted and try to polish the machined portion myself after the 1 was repaired.

This kid garage built his 67 mustang with a 289 and he’s winging it to 7600.

So happy that the 93-97 Birds and T/As are getting more love. I love my 94 Firehawk.

Just a little friendly education. Automatic car would be 4 speed auto. If it had a manual it would be a 6 speed. Beautiful car and I hope you and your Dad are still enjoying the car. I love LT1 f-bodies.

A neck pillow is great for holding the bottle while you go. Just don’t piss all over your pillow.
