Bad f-ing day
I was mocking my s475 up with the ls1 in the 67 tonight after removing the fender and inner fender well which was attached with original bolts that had never been removed from 1967, so, to say the least, it was a job and a half. Anyway... I was showing my wife the setup and my hand slipped (probably from being fatigued) and dropped the turbo, which bashed the absolute dogshit out of my new jegs ls1 conversion radiator... I'm pretty damn upset about it. Gonna list it on ebay for a penny, see if it sells, otherwise I'm gonna recycle it. What a God damn waste of $350.

Looks like dog ass now man, and it's the side that faces the engine. Won't be able to see the other side with the 14" on it and it'll be behind the intercooler. I'm so bummed right now... I swear, this is why I hate working on cars, this shit always happens to me, and then to top it all off, as I'm removing the radiator, I hit the drop light and it crashes to the floor, shattering the bulb all over the floor.

Don't know why I didn't just get a chinese made piece of shit, I swear this jegs unit looks just like one, showed up with a dent on top and jegs doesn't do crap about it. Reminds me why I only order through summit. I need a break from bullshit happening to me. lol

No one has a stock f-body (98-02) radiator they'd like to get rid of? =\
