Figured i would make a build thread for my 1998 silverfrost csvt with mnb interior . (Warning) may contain lots of pics. attach1799364.jpg


Current pics as of jan 2016 from the start to now



It all started with an 8hr drive to Maryland and back to SouthCarolina.


So i Purchased the car for ($500) and this is what i started with

Existing mods done by previous owner:
Color matched front Grille and rear reflector and calipers
plasti dip wheels
after market fogs
short shift kit/shift ball
Tinted windows
custom intake
Custom exhaust/resonator delete
Custom badges
Newer paint job

The Cons:
Motor has spun Rod Bearing
Suspension is shot has 136k
Factory Fuel harness harness falling apart
previous owner tried fixing the motor and lost hardware
Has missing Jack point cover
dent in Passenger fender From Deer
Rear seat cushion metal brackets broken
Sunroof Gear stripped out
Passenger door interior handle Broken
Speedometer not reading mph right

The resurrection begins:
First i Fixed the Fuel harness that was shorting out and messing with P.A.T.S System so i could get her to crank
Replaced the bearing/ still waiting for 3L swap
Reconfigured the intake system and painted it
Replaced the badges
fixed the leaking taillights
got all the missing hardware and broken hoses from the junkyard
Replaced the sunroof gear
have B.A.T struts waiting and will be adding new springs soon
repainted the shift ball
replaced headlights and building new ones

More work will come ive had it for 3 Months and this has been a side project i will post more pictures as i make my progress. Enjoy!

I'm really happy that I was able to get it from him at this price leaves a lot of room for more mods hope I can find a decent 3l next month and pull the trigger on the swap then Complete the suspension and find some decent wheels that I like.
