Meaning when is it going to be ready? Good question, I have a good amount of work to finish at the shop, but will make more progress on it directly afterward.

Sorry if this has been covered, but is there no way to keep both the A/C and the PS? Was the AC delete and alternator relocation neccesary for hood clearance issues?

That is correct. There is simply no way to have the steering in stock location, and have the alternator up top. However, if going n/a 3-rotor, the alternator can be put where the air-pump would go under the waterpump. Then you can keep a/c and p.s.

I just had to post because I FINALLY got around to opening up my oilpan and steering rack that GTORX7 sent me for my kit. Don't get me wrong, he sent it when he said he would, in a timely fashion, but for other reasons I am just now getting around to my car again.

First off. . . The packaging was in NO WAY skimpy. EVERYTHING was very well wrapped and cushioned, NO worries of shipping damage.

secondly, the parts came back very nearly clean as new. When I sent him my steering rack, I simply took it off of my car, and shipped it, same with the oil pan. As such, they were in no way clean. I got them back in immaculate condition. For anyone who appreciates people that will go the extra mile to put out a nicer product, GTO is your kind of businessman.

also, the work, once again, is TOP SHELF. it's hard for me to avoid being profane with how happy i am with this kit.

GTO and I finished our transaction sometime ago, so for all intents and purposes, I have nothing to gain by coming on here saying all this. . .I have all my parts, and need nothing else from him. I just HAD to come give him a bump and tell anyone on the fence about which subframe or kit to go with, do yourself a favor, PM GTORX7 and get started with this kit. He is a great guy that never slacks on communication or work, and does outstanding work, for what I feel is a very reasonable price.

THANKS GTO
ryan

Whatever can be had at the price point that fits your needs. If you get a running car, you should be able to recoup *some* funds. If you get a roller, you get a cheaper buy in. Depends what you can find at what price
