We work with a different system here, we agree on a price before the job is started. In my case, we agreed on 14,000 Dirhams which amounts to $3811 plus any mechanical work later needed.
Update time, took the day off work and drove about 3 hours to pick this up.
State side people aren't familiar with it, its a '06 Chevy Lumina SS which would be the predecessor to the Pontiac G8 you guys got.
Owner got too many fines and was impounded and wanted to get rid of it, picked it up and towed it back to Abu Dhabi for $1109 and picked up a decent cam for $217
'06 Lumina LS1/4L65E
Saw this at the local DMV while i was picking up the donor car
Sandblasted and painted matte black, waiting on the bed mount brackets to arrive
Being primed to prevent further rust
The cam specs, nothing too wild
Plan is a bit of new and old.....Carbed LS1/TH350
BRING OUT THE PITCH FORKS!! A CARBED LS?!
