View Full Version : At crossroads with what todo
Anyone else get to the point where they have to much stuff sitting around, but nothing really comes together?
I have an 86 monte ss sitting in the driveway which the paint and body work was done horrible on. Besides the typical rust. The engines flawless but also a 305.
I have a 71 240z thats a roller also. And even an lq4 sitting here.
Lack of motivation for the most part.
My original plan was to find some old beat up nova shell or something, slap some turbos on the lq4 and call it a day.
I guess some pictures wont hurt.

1. LQ4 in the Monte. Continue the build until it has twin hair dryers and decent body work. G-bodies make great p-t cars.
2. 305 goes in the 240 and make it a fun daily driver to keep you somewhat satisfied until the Monte's done. At least you won't be that excited about modifying the 305 so your money will still go into the Monte and not get distracted onto the 240.
3. Buy a Nova and ship it to me. :)
Ive thought about the lq4 in the monte, but I cant keep my foot out of the skinny pedal...the 7.5 rear end would grenade, im sure the 200r4 would also.
The 240z is far from being a daily driver. I pick at it every now and then and do things to it.
Surprisingly the classic car market around here is super cheap. I paid $1300 for the ws6 trans am I picked it, it was an 86 also and had zero rust on it and a built motor.

LS + 240 + bOOst = OMG WE'RE HAVING FUN NOW!!!!
Thought about that also, but Ive been there and done that. I have cruisers (a 74 cutlass supreme) and weekend drivers (67 camaro) but nothing thats "all around fun" or a daily driver.
I love the interior space in the monte, but its still two door and I can whip it around.
I keep thinking about an 80's malibu or a 69-71 nova as they are some what inbetween a compact and full size car. Might be fun to whip around.

Step 1: Put your big girl panties on.
Step 2: Get off your butt.
Step 3: Pick up some tools.
Step 4: Wrench on one of your cars.
Step 5: Post results.
Step 6: Drive it like you stole it.
I drive the crap out of everything I own haha.
For the longest time my daily driver was a turbo silverado. 5.3 with only arp headstuds and a 76mm turbo at 9psi.
I guess my biggest problem is going all out or not. I dont want something thats going to sit here for years ripped apart.
Sourced a gn rear end so far
