The 02 VX SS project

[cjf]

Ok earlier this year I picked a tidy 02 VX SS white 4 spd auto for $3k .
It had oil pressure problems and was a trade in at a local caryard. To cut a long story short I got it cheap because of the mechanical issues.
I work at a GM dealership and I was thinking of a quick stock rebuild as I can get discounted parts etc.
But the bug has bitten and now,and hopefully it will be a 10 sec drag project.

here are a few pics
