Opinions on a '88 iroc-z

Needs floor pans and rear inner wheel wells. Is it worth the time and money or would I be better off looking for something else?

All depends on how much you are getting it for.

Re: Opinions on a '88 iroc-z

Well your looking at $1500 in body work (assuming your doing it). On top of that subframe connectors will be a must, plus anything else you want to do to it. I'd say do the math. Your obviously not going to be making money, but see how much you'll be in the hole. If you can justify the cost then go for it.

So long as you know what you're getting yourself into, and can do the repairs yourself or have a friend that can help you out.

Seems like a deal to me, go for it.

I would talk him down the lowest you can for it.Floor pan and wheel wells can be real fun to patch and make sure you undercoat everything under it good.And why is there a tarp over the hatch does it leak or something?
