LS1 swap turned cowl rebuild and floorpan replacement
Well life sucks when it all goes wrong.
But I'm mashing those damned lemons into lemonade
So I was at the last spot to prep on the engine bay for paint before the swap and went right thru the firewall with a wire wheel.
So in the included link shows how nice of a job we did on the cowl and well as pics of all the prior damage. I will keep updating the original thread as work progresses. Next time we can get together, it will be floor board time on the drivers side. I expect it to end up taking the same 2 day work period with 10-12 hour days with the three of us(fingers crossed).
Current status is firewall/cowl rebuilt and completed, engine bay prepped and primed for paint and awaiting driver floor pan repair.
U can comment here or on the original thread, since no one seems to care other than other folks in the same boat lol

I plan to. Going to have to pay someone to do the work, though. I don't have the skill or equipment to do this on my own. I know the cost/benefit ratio is low, but I don't want to re-body the car.
