Pics ! At Last !!
Hi Guys,
Here are some photos of my IROC.

I am a coachbuilder by trade, not a painter, but decided I would try it myself ! She was white when I got her, but now she is RED.

Decided to keep the IROC decals, I know, I know !

Roll on some decent summer weather and some cruising !!

Alan.....

Looks good. Did you make the IROC decals yourself? I can't decide whether to put the decals back on mine or not.

I'd remove the rear fog light and the front number plate though.

My mate works in a Graphic dept of a Coachbuilders, he made em up.

Not exactly a perfect copy, but not too far away either.

Fog light will be intergrated into the rear light cluster shortly, another thing on the "to-do list"

The decals are down to your own personal taste I suppose.
If it is an IROC, cant see any reason for leaving them off, other than preference.

Cheers,
Alan.....

Sweet ride Alan!
I agree about the front plate - may cause cooling problems. However, just where do you put that barn door?

I would like to get rid of my front no. plate, but till the car is painted it will have to stay on as there are numerous holes for the mounting!

Mark.
sounds stupid, but the grille doesn't really affect cooling at all, the car draws its air from the air dam under the nose.

Looks great- really does.

Personally I like the IROC decals on (but only when it is an IROC Phil ) It suits them and was part of the 80's thing. Do you remember in the 90's things like power steering, abs, DOHC made it onto the backs of cars or on the doors which took it a little far... But IROC is cool. They don't look like originals though, they have to be the real deal.

Never really thought of taking the front plate off mine- I would prefer not give the rozza's a reason to pull me over though- he could always find something else he wants to 'do' you for... Also never had cooling problems (until I sold it )

They do look good in red... (and white ) Looks like a great finish there Alan. You going to any shows this year?

Unfortunately not Bud !

Still a visitor to the board tho, coz I have had 3 Camaros, 2 of them 3rd Gens, and a recent bad experience with a C4 !!

Who knows what will happen before the summer !

Had plenty of help through this board in the past, for which I have been really gratefull, and old habits die hard !!

Okeydokey !!

You want photos, and be bored ?? Here goes !

Sorry for the delay, not enough hours in the day just now
Enjoy anyways,

Story I got was

Imported almost 4 years ago, and partially stripped to return to as near as dammit new condition. Guy who imported it took a heart attack and was left paralysed
2 years later, the family put it up for sale. A trader bought it, no doubt for a song, advertised it, I bought it and started work !

First few photos are it when it arrived, next few, work in progress, and finally when finished !!
