My 8 year old son looked at those pictures, and his jaw dropped open. He said, "That's what it is going to be like working on the GTO, except it won't take so long, because it does not look all junky!"
LOL!
To answer the original poster, however, 4 or 5 years ago, I was driving my GTO, and my son loved it. I pulled the motor, stripped it down, bought aluminum heads and a roller cam and custom pistons and H Beam rods, and BAM . . .
Financial ruin. (unrelated to the GTO)
So it is just sitting there in pieces . . .
I had a forum member here at the house looking at it to sell it to him about a year ago, and my wife, who always claims to hate the "ugly, old" GTO, called me aside and convinced me not to sell it, pointing out that it would always be something I would regret.
So I sold a few guns to get us back on our feet that month (including my only machine gun . . . sniff). Things have improved some since then, and every month my financial outlook improves, so I will get back on the GTO one day . . .
And to think I was almost completely debt free when that happened.
Real estate. Stupidity. Not a good mixture.
