So I figured I would start a thread on here about my '99 OBS... I did the same thing for my ZR2 on another forum and that thread lasted 7 years because it was a never ending project... I've got a feeling this is going to turn into the same thing.

The day I picked it up in mid December 2012 with a hair over 66,000 miles. Kinda dirty - been pretty much sitting in a garage collecting dust. Only had 4,000 miles put on it in 3 years.

One owner, garage kept. Claimed it had a nasty problem with it since it had a miss. Took it home for $3,500. I went ahead and replaced the injectors on the 2 cylinders that it was misfiring on, and still had a misfire... Didn't take long to realize he had placed two of the plug wires back in the wrong spot. :whymewhyme:

Bought some cheapo clear corners for it from eBay... Not the ones I play to keep - but didn't cost much so I'm playin with em.

Off with the running boards and aluminum fender trim... And some clear turn signals.

Thanks appreciate it!
Got this Craigslist find from a fella with a very nice lowered 2wd 2 door Saturday.

Kinda up in the air on the brush guard... But that exact Westin is over $500. I picked it up for $40... If I don't like it, I'll just stick it in the barn or resell it. :)


I'm looking for some lights to go on it... I wish I had the PIAA's I left on my ZR2 when I sold it.

I'm now looking for leather seats in descent shape... I found a set for 200 - the passenger & rear are immaculate, the driver needs some work. If i pick em up, I'll just drop the driver off at a shop and have it redone before I put them in.

Didn't plan on lifting it... But I've been looking around at lift kits now.
