My son Noah owns a 1989 Notch. We have had it for 15 years. About 10 years ago, I had Rick (ZR) do a LOT of work on it.
We converted it from a 4 cylinger slushbox to a 302 5 speed. We put in a 3.73 8.8 rear end as well as
-subframe connectors,
-strut tower brace
-k member brace
-tokiko gas shocks
-aftermarket lowering springs 9name brand but I forget)
-aftermarket rear lower control arms (also name brand)
-4 wheel disc brakes with 5 lug conversion out of an 02 GT
-1994 power master cylinder
-tilt steering wheel
-2002 or 3 Chrome factory wheels, 17"
-good tires all around, but mismatched
-headers and dual exhaust
Over the years we had a great time with it, and ZR's work proved completely dependable. However, Noah lost interest in it, and it's been sitting for 5 years.
LAst year we got it running for a while but there is a noticeable vibration in the drive-line. Otherwise it ran fine. When we first had it finished it dynoed 235 RWHP at DaSilva's.
IT also needs some body work. ZR did the famous strut tower repair and we did replace part of the floor and door panel(right side) and a complete paint job/colour change
However, there's a couple of dings and the rocker panel needs doing, and the clear coat is coming off, so a full paint job is probably needed.
It's a real shame to see it sitting forlornly in the barn, but I simply don't have the time to play with it, and Noah is not interested(he's become a truck lover: 2019 F-250 Lariat diesel)
Anyone have thoughts as to what it's worth?
