How's it going everyone, been lurking and planning for a few months now, picked up my 08 SS donor last month and put down my Stage 1 deposit last week. Should see if shipping fairly soon. I am in Pasco, WA and since the snow has mostly subsided I claimed the garage. We had a roll-off dumpster at our house for a day and was able to clean out the garage in prep for stripping the donor, which will get started on a few days. The 4hr drive from the sellers house to mine the car drove and shifted well but does have 155k on the clock.
Car has a stage 1 per the seller and the map sensors appear to be stage 1. Compression came out 125-130 across all 4 cylinders and when I pull the motor the LNF is going on a stand and getting regasketed. Also going to be stripping the head and doing new ZZP 82# valve springs and new valve seats while the head is getting cleaned up. Also a new KY clutch and possibly a turbo upgrade.
My last project car was a built motor SRT4 but that was back in 2013, excited to get back into the car scene. Will update as I go along with the stripping of the donor.
