Firstly, a HUGE THANKS to everyone who has helped me with this project. It couldn't be done without you guys, and I will never be able to repay your generosity. I am eternally grateful for all the hard work you guys have put into this project. This really goes to prove that when we are called the "GTO Community," it isn't just another moniker.
Back in October 2011, my GTO was totaled. It was a warm day, but by the time the Phillies game was over, the night was too cold for the summer tires. A little too much gas around the corner, and that was it. A complete 360* over a curb and into a telephone pole.
Personally, I blame the Phillies. They had just lost the series. I'm sure as I was spinning around, I was screaming, "SMURFING PHILLLLIIIEEEESSSSSS. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Anyways, after the insurance company decided to total the car, I just couldn't let it go. I couldn't just buy another one, either. That is MY car. My GTO. Thus, Project Silverback was born.
What is Project Silverback? Quite simply, I have purchased the black 2004 roller that TrakDay was selling, which is Doc's old GTO, and am in the process of transferring everything out of my 2005 into the black 04.
This project has made everyone involved very, very familiar with these cars inside and out.
Since there are more pictures than it would ever be practical to upload to this thread, here is a link to this project's album:
