Our progress on our 1988 IROC-Z Convertible project..
We brought this home about.. 4 months ago now.. We've done both fenders, both doors, and the hood stripping it to bare metal, and priming it with RM epoxy primer - Black.. The drivers door took 2 weeks, as it was a nightmare of body work.. We just pulled off the back bumper, and ground FX.. To find a nice hole in the rear wheel well, and some nice crispy rear 1/4's where the Ground FX were.. Here's some pics!
