| A Work in progress |
Any of you who know me, know that I appreciate cars. I'm typically more fond of American made cars then imports, but theres always the occasion. My first car I ever, was a 1996 Chevy Lumina LS. It had 99,000 miles on it, with the 3.1 V6. This car is a Grandma's Car for sure. In the year that I had this car I put over $3000 into it. The usual oil change, transmission flush, new brakes, new tires, rattle can painted the interior. It was practically a car that I could use as a daily driver to get me from point a to point b. When I purchased my 95 Z28 I planned on redoing the interior and was just gonna drive it. To find out when I went to replace the window motors in the door panels, there was a wiring problem. Not only that but the car originally was a automatic that a previous owner converted to a 6 speed. There is participially one problem with this, when you do a conversion like that theres a sensor, for automatics, that tells the engine which gear its in, (park, reverse, neutral,etc..) and when that sensor is in reverse, the reverse lights kick on. This sensor was never removed therefor I had no reverse lights. In addition to that, there was no heat or ac. I began a tear down of the entire interior, so I could get the car rewired. After weeks of sitting on the project planning what to do, I came to the conclusion that were going to take this ride back to square one. I'm talking total restoration. Due to the lack of finances, school, and work, and no place to work on the car, I'm currently sitting on the project tell tax season. However I do have some pictures and info on the car.
