OK, i haven't been on hear in over a year at least, but ive been very busy lately and because of this the STE has gone downhill significantly.  I don't have the time to work on it anymore, and in the last month I think ive driven the car once, it just doesn't make sense to keep it anymore.  It needs quite a bit of work, but definately isn't a lost cause yet.

Info on the car:  I got the car in Dec 2003 with 69k on the clock.  It was completely stock.  I drove it as my DD for about 2 years until I got another car to drive.  The transmission blew up and I had numerous trannys in the car since then, however the tranny in it now has been in there since Dec 2005 and is a GMGoodwrench crate tranny with a 3 year/100k warranty through GM.  It was also rebuilt by the dealer in Feb 2006 because the original tranny lost 1st and reverse after about 200 miles.  It works fine right now except the torque convertor randomly unlocks and locks sometimes while cruising in OD on the freeway.  I'm sure the dealer could look into this and fix it, but I just don't have the time to bring it in there and deal with it.  The car does have the factory CD player and a moonroof, but no leather.  The CD player works when it feels like, steering wheel controls still work beautifully.  The turn signals work without pulling them back and whatnot as well. 

As for mods it has:
Open K&N cone
160 tstat
Topgun 160 chip
FFP UD crank pulley
3100 topend swap (small port 3100)
LS1 valvesprings
Crane H-260-2 Camshaft
AC Fins Mod
Magnaflow Mufflers
No Cat

The interior is in great shape except the headliner is in rough shape.  It has fallen down in the back and ripped in the front, basically a lost cause.  The drivers door panel isn't on the door right now because I put in a new door handle and never hooked up the rod so I haven't put the panel back on.  The clearcoat has peeled off on most of the hood but the paint on the rest of the car is in pretty good shape.  It is starting to rust around the rear wheelwells, but its not bad yet.  It probably would be pretty bad in a year or two if its not stopped soon though.  The passenger front window doesn't roll down, it worked last year, but the car sat for a few months and when i got it back out it didn't work anymore, so I'm not sure if its a switch or the motor.  The battery was new in December.  Spark plugs only have about 5k miles on them.

I have the complete original topend, complete with the "intercooled turbo" plenum and all.  I think the only piece missing to restore it to that is the upper charge pipe as I cut it to make it work with the 3100 stuff. 

The car does need a new front head because the corner of the head broke off.  The motor mount bolts broke off in the block and were only fastened to the head and it broke the corner of the head off with all that force pulling on it.  I got the bolts out of the block and put new ones in it and whatnot, but the head still needs to be fixed.  All you would need to do is get a used 3100 head for it to fix it, but obviously you'd have to tear it down.  It uses quite a bit of coolant because of this (seems to just leak onto the ground though and not into the oil), so it would probably need to be towed, unless you want to bring a lot of water with you or something. 

So as you can see the car is nowhere near problem free, but like I said, its not a lost cause.  I do think the price is right though considering everything, and its definately negotiable, so make an offer.

Here are some pics I snapped real quick, if you'd like more pics please let me know.
