how did you manage to reset the cluster ? and get around the tamper proof issue ?

Amazing dash pad for a 1991


I strained my back so I figured I would do some sit down work tonight. I reset the odometer to zero (not easy) and polished the cluster lens with PlastX.

The car paid me back today. ~$17 was under the center console, jammed in the shifter, and under the carpet.

Wow what a clean car

[JasonH]

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.

The good news is there is no rust on this car what-so-ever. I took the side skirts off and it was clean underneath.

Subscribed can't wait to see the build progress I know you will make one bad ass car!

Alright guys, I'm in agreement with some of the others - let's bring this thread back on track. Jason's car, he can do what he wants with it.

[JasonH]

not butthurt, just trying to save him some money so when he tries to sell it he can make more return on his investment thats all, he does run a business.

I appreciate the concern (not sarcastic), but this project is for me. I can't make money on it, even if I did an OEM restoration.

[JasonH]

WHAT ? you haven't built a 3rd gen ls swap then. There is no difference other gauges from v6 to v8 unless your running aftermarket gauges anyway, if so stock wouldn't matter. Guessing your upgrading suspension and fuel system so that wouldn't matter either. Other then moving the front brake lines which just literally bending them forward on a v6 and drilling an extra hole on the stock cross member, there is nothing different from v8 to v6. Just saying I have done it on 3-3rd gens 2 being v8's and one a v6's, the procedure is the 99.5% the same.



what did you buy the 1991 for anyway? I picked up my v6 1991 for 400 bucks

V6 cars tend to be more daily drivers and are more beat up. I did find a clean, low mile, V6 in the area and the guy wanted more than I paid for this car!

I like the provenance of starting with the correct car for the project.

I don't discuss what I pay for cars.

Ok enough of that, lets get this thread back on track please.
