I'm tired of grinding gears and breaking trannies, I don't want to pony up the doe for a shep trans and I have a low mileage GSX chillin waiting for me to molest it. I was going to build it but it's rusted up pretty bad. body is straight and rust free but the rest is not good bolts keep breaking, the sending unit was rusted half way up, and the downpipe was rusted away. I am going to see what the limit is of this stock motor with my bolt ons. Here is what I did in a few hours today.
cleaned and painted the bay really quick I don't care too much about cosmetics but wanted a more clean look, black will do.

I have a few more pics to ad but that was my day and the start to my Auto swap...
 
Almost a shame to tear apart a 92 Laser AWD. Kind of a rare car. But I think an auto drag car will keep it clean and off the streets that tear up these cars.
 
sounds like some good work man, by the way, those rims are freaking gorgeous haha
 
Yes these are rare cars but nobody wants to buy them, I wouldn't mind having it 5 speed but I have always wanted an auto car. I love the look of the car and if it's just not in the cards to have 2 dsms. 2 dsms = broke all the time with 2 broke cars.
pics update. wish I had a better place for the gauges.
