Default updates to my plans

Well its been a while since I've posted but I figured id update you guys on the progress of things. As of next weekend I will oficially own 2 1/2 5th gens lol. I just got ahold of a 92 convertable with a 5s 2 additional 5s's and a 3sgte front clip. All for $1500. I may try a 5sgte build but I haven't decided yet. As for my 93 it will be on hold for a while as the convertable is in much better shape. I plan on completing them both though. And I have an idea for an awd conversion method that may not require much fab work. Ill probably use the 93 as my test subject. Ill keep you guys updated.

Good luck. I've seen a lot of people claim a 5sgte build then they get In over there heads. If you run into any trouble or have a question send me a message. I have a full 5sgte build.

very nice buy ! i have a 93 gt convertible. ive been working on it for it for 2 years now ! i love this car. the weight kills the performance of the 5sfe. but driving with the top down is great !

im gonna have a lot of questions for you ! i fully rebuilt the 5sfe and did auto to 5speed conversion. now im modding it but i ran into a couple of problems. maybe you could check for me since you have a convertible too

Well I have 3 5s engines (not including the one in my 93) to work with lol. So I'm gonna drop the 3s into the convertable and work on a 5sgte build so I can try to get it right lol. Like I said the convertable is in A LOT better shape than my 93 so ill get it done then set my 93 up as a track car and experiment with the 5sgte build and such.
