2008 g8 gt #885 black on black m6 37k miles
I got the car from a salvage auction dealer near philly.
The damage was all cosmetic and each and every part affected by the crash was replaced.
Damage was front left.
The replaced parts include.
New:
Gxp bumper, with lower grille and fog Assembly.
Radiator support.
Control arms set. -didnt want to just replace the left side
Driver side fender and inner fender. All Gm
Radiator with all the mounts and clips.
Used.
Strut, knuckle, bearing.
Subframe. The one from the crash was only bent at the radiator support.
Pasd side. Head light
That brought the car back to 100% fixed and was inspected to make a R title. It passed with out one single problem. And was deemed a full reconstruction but even then it can't be 100% value.
The car had zero damage to any major area of concern.
The hood that was on the car in the crash is still on the car. And fit fine with no work needed.
I will do my best to find pics of the car.
picture of wrecked car.
the hood is the same now. the body frame rail needed pulled just under one inch.
(coming soon)
Now on to the mods.
Full manual conversion. Using all stock gxp parts.
Only permanent mod was the hole cut for the clutch.
Monster twin disk stage 1 clutch with 28lb flywheel.
Very easy to drive and rated to 700lb/ft
Can be seen here.

3.45 rear with new seals.
Exhaust.
Jba long tube painted and wrapped.
3" magna flow with 3" tru-x mid muffler.
Custom tips.
Zero drone. And not real loud.
Engine.
Comp cam- 223/230 .634/.609 113+2
Ls7 lifters and new trays. Texas speed cromoly push rods. 7.425 and pic(i think.) .660 duel springs.
All new seals and gaskets on everything when I did it.
Billit timing set and ls2 chain tentioner.
New plugs and all that stuff also.
Cam was broken in with brad Penn break in oil.
And then I ran Brad Penn for the first oil change.
When I moved to Colorado I couldn't find it so I put gtx in 300 miles. and then found brad Penn.
IMO Brad Penn is the best oil. If you don't know about it Google and start reading. Its equal if not better then the big name big dollor stuff. (Some stuff its the same just diff bottle)

I can make it all koni with stock type springs if buyer wants.
The car had been plastic dipped on the chrome grille. And the wheels.
The marker lights were smoked.
My plan was to murder the car.
If buyer don't want that I can change it back no problem.
Interior.
I have the stock unit in it now.
But I also have a ppv unit and all the trim will be real carbon fiber overlay cleared and buffed.
If buyer wants any other stuff carbon wrapped I can do it no problem.

23641
Extras included.
Koni rears, new
Stock front struts.

I have the efi live auto cal and will see what I can do to transfer pats tuning program.
I have the shop manual the 4 thick books. For 09 so it has everything. I have a box of random stuff also.
My plans for the car was to build a single turbo kit.
That's why I didn't get better headers.
car is located in colorado springs
Willing to deliver for fuel price and a plane ticket.
Asking $26k I believe its worth that.
The car can be changed in any way the buyer wants.
