Put shoes and brakes on it. Auto-x'd it. It's now in the garage getting springs, shocks, and sway bars. The steering rack (leaking) and pump (overheating) are both at Turn One getting performance rebuilds.
While I have it down, it's getting a bunch of smaller corrections... like a functioning audio system and installation of the proper transmission boots. I'm also trying to work out a fix for the loose tilt housing. I've had it apart once for a look-see, ordered a supposedly "good" used replacement column (it wasn't), and am now working with a place in Utah for a correction.
I did pick up an LS6 intake manifold for a coworker (today's project) and maybe I'll do headers before the steering comes back.
Fixed the steering, got the springs, shocks, and sway bars wrapped up, and installed LS6 intake, headers, and exhaust. Also picked up HP Tuners and installed a wideband O2 sensor. All the speakers work now too!
No more 4x4 wheel gap.
