Running or not?
It seems like quite a few people on this site (myself included) own cars that aren't running or are in piece, so I just wanna see how many of you have project cars and how many of you have drivers.
Btw I'm new so I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this thread

Re: Running or not?
Mine is both a project and a daily driver. Up until 2 years ago, I drove her daily in the summer and she became my project car over the winter months. That was until I thought I developed a rod knock, only to realize it was just a bent pushrod after letting it sit for a year. Hoping to get it back together and on the road in the next couple of weeks though. Then it's back to daily driving in the summer and wrenching in the winter.

Re: Running or not?
Mine has been sitting for a year now but previously it was a daily driver for 2 years, soon it will be again.
My brother has an 86 iroc in his garage in pieces and and 87 GTA sitting next to it, in need of injectors.

Re: Running or not?
Hey everyone so I recently inherited a 1988 Camaro Iroc z28 5.7. I just had the engine block swapped out but when I got it the engine bay was in pieces. I need help identiying these harneses and what they connect to because I do not see where they go and if pieces are missing.
Engine Bay after motor swap.
I believe this is for the 02sensor since the 02 wires are cut up.
this is next to the harness of the 02 sensor
AC compressor in picture. this and other 2 wires are ran through the same harness and conects the AC compressor.

Re: Running or not?
Mines a project. a many year project.
T-Top bar was dented bad. I wanted the car done perfect.
Epoxy primer. Down to bare metal.
This work was done in 08'
About a month after this I was in an accident that caused my baby to sit in storage till hopefully this year.
Currently, All the car needs is for the fenders to be fitted/hood/bumpers and interior and she will be back on the road. There is many small projects that I want to button up also. Its been so many years, one more wont hurt I guess. Want it to be done right.. Want to drive it though too..

Mine is a daily driver, well as daily driver as it can get with me rotating between it, a Jeep, a Tacoma, a Nissan Rogue and a motorcycle. I try to drive each one of them at least once a week or so to keep them in good shape.

Re: Running or not?
Though mine is parked until the rain stops! Mine is a daily driver. A typical week will take me 300+ miles. It is currently at 135k. My previous 92 Camaro RS, I drove for just over 300K as a daily driver.

Re: Running or not?
Had it for less than a year as a nice weather driver, then it was off the road for a year for the LS/T56 swap and body work and now it's back to an occasional nice day car... In about 3 years it will be getting stripped down, put on a rotisserie and made to be like new.
