1986 Berlinetta 305 V8

I don't know why all you guys are putting your camaro's up for the winter ^^ I plan on driving my all the way to York, Pennsylvania =] Anyway I'm doing some tune ups and " body " work & what not =D Leaving December 12th, 1200 miles? I don't doubt my bitchy camaro 1 bit haha....

What Ive done to it:

New Alternator
New Solenoid
All New Rubber Hoses
Pretty New Tires, got em back in 07 but still havent put many miles on them
New wiring up to solenoid/starter
New Rotors & brake pads
New thermostat

Need to replace the transmission filter this week, thats gonna be fun =o

Anyway it needs a new grill the original one rotted out XD & I also need to replace the drivers side fog light..
Anyway my plans are to have it completely stripped and primered before December rolls in....

Re: 1986 Berlinetta 305 V8

Besides the obvious checks of the oil, trans fluid, and coolant, you might also want to crawl under the car and do a quick visual check. Make sure there are no rust spots that might become a problem when winter and the salt and snow roll in. also check the joints and bushings for rot and wear. Either way you seem to be in good shape. Time to put some serious miles on that thing
