Ok all thought I'd start an Official build thread on the Astre and let you all in on my plans for the old girl. I just got this car a few weeks ago and have been looking for another for awhile now and it seems like I can't get my hands on a wagon so I will settle for this one lol
As you all I know I am trying to track do the history of this car to see if its "rare" rare then most. I will be sending in for the PHS packet and GM Canada packet I am still hunting for the build sheet. I haven't made mush progress with that yet lol. But I plan to build me one heck of a street/strip terror with full Pontiac power!! No chevy motors in this one!
Here is kinda a run down on what is instore for this car (unless someone has a wagon for trade)....
Mini tubs with 275DR on 15x10 wheels
Narrow Disc brake 8.8" rear end
S10 front conversion
12+ Roll Cage without wheel wells
Custom built Fiberglass Hood
Fiberglass Bumpers narrowed and tucked for cleaner look
Possible Fiberglass Rear Hatch
Lexan Back and Side Windows
Custom made Adjustable Torque Bar and lower Control Arms
Will retain the Full Interior and Heater will ditch the AC
Will get a NASTY 461 Poncho Stroker Motor
That's pretty much what "FT2BTYD" is going to be...one pissed off Astre lol
Here's the before pics...
