[QUOTE="Phatboy, post: 1181206, member: 18419"] Hey guys. Names Logan. Picked up this 95 GT about 8 months ago, and its finally time to start turning her into the dream I have. First things first, the name. Blood Diamond, obviously its a play on the color. Also, when people think of blood diamonds they think of conflict and war. Another point is the rarity, this body style was only produced for 4 years. There is not exactly a ton of them out there, and even less in good condition. Plans for the car: [B]Engine:[/B] 331 stroker from Coast High Performance. I already have this engine sitting in my garage, just needs to be cleaned, painted, and installed.
