'92 RS

Just acquired another vert. Most seen the demise of the last one.
I picked up a '87 yellow 350 iroc I planned to redo but I jut couldnt stay away from this deal on another vert. So the iroc must go and the following work to the vert.

Has a new top but No seats,carpet or motor.
No biggie I have ALL NEW black Int going in it anyways.
8point roll bar ill be added.
Motor will most likely be my 383LT1 with a MP T76 turbo
putting a 9bolt with 3.45's in it.
Looking for a T56

Rims will be my SS rims for now. Already put my 3inch harwood cowl on. Heres a quick camera phone pic. More info to come later as I find time to mess with it. Info in sig is what I'll be trying to get done as time permit.

Re: '92 RS

9bolt with bilistins in.
Main hoop is welded in.

Side bars are next. Then the back bars need custom bent.



deck lid for my 92 wing is on. Will start on modding the side caps after the roll bar is done. All Black INterior will be going in it.

just figured Id add a few new photos.

Re: '92 RS

If you are going all black interior my 92 Z vert needs front black/grey seats unless you are going to re-cover those. I also need a spair pair of rear side panels to re-cover if I can find the right black/gray material.

If I find 4th Gen TA seats I like Im gonna get rid of these. Other wise these black/grey are in great shape.

Rear speaker pannels are gonna get redone. Looks like someone cut em for 6x9's So Im just gonna re-do em myself.
