Hey everyone,
Matt Cussans in Trenton, MI.
Let me just start off and say how much fun I've been having researching and reading other build guides. I'm not one to normally put things out on the forum or social media much, but I've learned so much just from what other builders have been writing and sharing their pictures, that maybe others would be interested how I'm going about my build.
I first learned about the Goblin from a Doughnut Media video on YouTube back in March which mentioned this kit car you build from a Cobalt donor. This is exactly what I have been looking for for my next project. It just seemed like a good fit. Fast forward a couple weeks, and I was on my way to pick up an 06' LS manual a few hours away from home (Detroit area). It was a running/driving car with your normal 150,000 mile blemishes and wear, but it looked like the interior was NEVER cleaned in it's lifetime. Got it for a great deal for $750.
So far, a great start to the project. I was a little worried it was just a normally aspirated 2.2L, but I'm also doing this on a budget, and when time permits (have kids and stuff). Also, I don't plan on doing any racing or autocross, just a nice weekend/nice day driver and going to car shows, so I think this will be a good setup.
I've been working on the project on an off for the past 6 months, taking it slow. I finally made the move and ordered my Goblin on Sep 5, Chassis #355. I'll post more of my past progress soon, making my way to post as I go.
