My '88 Iroc, its been a while

I bought this car about 3 years ago for $1800. Its an 88 Iroc, 5.7, 9 bolt, t tops. I ran ok but smoked really bad. I finally rebuilt the engine and had the front end painted. Its still a work in process. Here are a few pics.

Thanks guys, I am putting in new t-top seals, eventually change out that god awful interior and have the rest painted and new stripes. It is however on the back burner for a while since I just got the 91 z28.

Yeah I really like the color too. I believe that 88 was the only year you could get an Iroc in gunmetal grey. But correct me if im wrong.

Re: My '88 Iroc, its been a while

Yeah thats just paint, you really can see them once they are in the car. I kinda wish i would have just rebuilt the factory head, it was a pain to get the tpi base to match the head bolts.
