(Re)build thread - 98-0034

Picked up 98-0034 back in Aug 2015 (cant believe its going on 3 years already). She was a Northeast car all her life, and daily driven so she had some body and rust issues. With around 137K on the clock, she was also consuming a decent amount of oil. For the next 2 years I did some of the usual mods and beat the crap out of her over the course of 20+ track days. Other than a leaky oil pan gasket last year at Expo, Ive never had a single problem with her.
But the time has come to get her back into shape. Motor is out at the shop for a mostly OEM refresh on the C5. And the chassis is basically a rolling shell at the body shop. She will be getting some extensive body work and rust removal and then a fresh coat of CW. Exterior will be pretty mint but there will still be some areas to address at a later time internally and underneath. Not enough time and money to do it all at once.
A couple pics from the first day I got her, Expo 16 and the last time I saw her. Moar pics and updates to come!
