Default New pics finally rollin!!!

before anyone says anything stupid,YES it was wrecked and NO I wouldnt do this to a perfectly good sol!!!finally took her out for a drive,seems to run pretty good the only problem I have is a weird noise coming from tranny..The throw out bearing is prtty noisy and I also have this strange kinda grinding/whirring noise atlow speeds sounds like somethings dry but the fluid is fine!?I searched and what I am coming up with is it must be a bearing??Oh well,hope it makes it till winter plannin on swappin the motor for a y8!!! here's a new pic (catskill mtns.)

good job, the teg tails look like they belong on there. they don't look tacked on like many of the conversions I've seen. you also did a great job on the paint.

by the sounds of it you may be losing some bearings in the tranny.

It doesn't look too bad, not my taste at all. But I can appreciate the work put into it.

From the sound of it ur trans bearings are going out. If you are thinking about rebuilding the trans check out this site. http://www.standardtransmission.com/ They have some good prices on the trans parts.
Not feelin the front bumper, but i love the tails on the Sol. Like others have said, like like factory. And Kudos on the paint job.
