Anyone in the Colorado Springs area?

We just moved here a couple weeks ago and I am getting ready to start on the 6 speed manual conversion project in my GT. Looking for some fellow shade-tree mechanics that might want to help and be part of the build. It would be great to meet some other members on the board too as I have already seen several G8's in the local area. A LOT more than I ever saw back in Nebraska.

That's where I grew up. What part of the springs? Sure would be nice to visit my old stomping grounds AND work on the first manual GT. :)

North East. I am in the Cordera community if you have any idea where that is. Pretty nice place. I just coated the garage floor and the transmission should be at the house on Wednesday! My basement is unfinished and anyone who wants to help can crash for the weekend :)

I was on the south side of town in Fountain. Graduated from Widefield back in 87. No comments, I know I'm old. :)

Ok all, the car is up on jack stands and I am going to start pulling stuff out this weekend. If anyone has some free time and wants to come BS while I take apart the auto, come on by.

Im in Fountain, and Would love to meet some fellow G8 Guys, seems that all the G8 guys I have met dont know what they have. Ive got a buddy with a 06 GTO thats decently modded and him and I are always looking for fellow car enthusists. PM me if your interested. Good luck with the build, Ide love to check it out sometime.

The conversion starts this weekend. The trans is out of the car and all of the parts are in. PM me if you are in the area and want to come assist.

I can't help with the project but wish you luck. I just wanted to comment on this. Unfortunately this isn't the first manual GT, but a daunting task nonetheless. Keep us updated.

Bump for cool project.

Hope you get some help so you can take pictures and notes

True, this isn't the first manual GT. However, it will be (knock on wood) the first to use the readily available Camaro transmission as a core. And since I also am putting in a 3.45 diff, the trans and diff were designed to work with each other. The real work starts tomorrow. I am going to get a good night's sleep tonight and start at it first thing in the morning.

I needed it today. Lots of progress on the car, but lots more to go. It's a good thing I like solving problems.

Getting back to work on the car this week if anyone has some spare wrenching time. Especially if you are good with wiring. I hate dealing with wiring...
