What was wrong with it

**Yourbeat** · 06-03-2012, 12:58 AM

one of the bearings had heat damage to it so the idiot before me didnt keep up on the oil for a few thousand miles before i got it i guess. so its getting a new(er) ls1 put in now. they are supposed to be starting the install monday morning and say i should have it tuesday but weds. the latest.

I slid my formula off the road in a deal snow storm 3 and a half years ago, gotta love Utah weather. I've been slowly piecing her back together but sering everyday and not being able to drive her really sucks, I can't imagine not having one period. That's why I'll never sale mine.

Not too bad really, put a new track and pinion in last fall and was able to drive it, just not wanting to jump the gun. I want to replace all the suspension before committing it to a daily driver again, she bounced pretty bad. It's just taking forever because I started a divorce 5 months later and now have child support, a new wife and 2 new kids and another on the way. Love my car but my family more.

the only thing i hate about owning a fbody is that guys always want to steal them,i dont hear about GTOs being stolen as much as t/a's and camaros,i knew a guy who had his 01 ss stolen,he never saw it again,then he got a 01 t/a someone stole that too so he was done with fbodys and got a g8

put the bird up in storage 8 months ago in cali when i left for the STAN and then my son came two days before my tour ended so i flew straight into alabama to be with the wife and kid till he is able to travel. Don't get me wrong i love spending time with my new son more than anything but my T/A fever has been flaring up.
