      16 year old with a 1978 Monza Spyder ;)

      Hey : )

      Just turned 16 and got a car (have to be 18 to drive it Legal in Norway, but got 2 years to build it up then)



      It's an 1978 Chevrolet Monza Spyder with a 5.0l V8 (305)
      Got some rust here and there, no big deal : )
      Thinking of changing out the manifolds with Headers, but i don't know if it's enough space, Lods of things in the way as it are now : )
      Just removed the A/C (Won't work, dont need it)

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?

      Good thing about this car is that it got the look of a camaro in the front, from the 1982-1992 camaro's

      Such a cool car to start with. I had a 75 Monza with a tiny little V8 when I was 16 (a couple years ago). I really like those cars. You have a lot of potential there.

      Good to see another young guy enter the hobby.

      And welcome.

      I'm green...with envy! That's a sweet ride. I almost bought one of those brand new. Well, I ordered it at least. It came in without the Spyder package!

      Nice find and good luck! And welcome to the site.

      Keep us posted with lotsa pics!!!

      Getting some new parts today, going to rip out the old A/C tubes and all that^^ One thing that suprises me is the radiator: p It's really small, so i'm going to remove the A/C cooler in the front and put in a electric fan just to make sure it stays cooled :p

      Great little car! Congrats. With a little tweaking and tuning that 305 will be very nice to start out with!

      I would be very interested to see that car with a LS engine and an OD tranny in it. Do realize however that your just 16 and LS engines can't be found at every corner in Norway. So just stay with the 305 for now and if you have to spent money on something, do it to the suspension and brakes first!

      Good luck and keep us informed.

      Yeah, the front suspension have seen better days ;p (the front wheels are more worn out then the back wheels) Started it up today, need to do an service, had orange flames coming out of the carb x) Scared my friends (they ran) but i'm going to fix that.

      Monza..

      So I see finally my son has come to senses and registered on PT aswell:-)
      Andreas has been working with me on my cars for years, and I guess he has dreamt about his own sweet ride when he turnes 18.. But I thought WTH lets get him something now- keeping him away from other bad influences like girls(Heheh...well...)booze and drugs;-)
      We`ll trick it out these next two years before he can get an drivers license. He`ll be doing most of the work while dad supervice I think...LOL
      Anyways- welcome to the site junior!!:-)
