326K and you even thought of using it??? That is well beyond a usable life of even a factory fuel injected engine. I use car-part.com to find all my engines. Its always worked out good and gotten good deals. Picked up my 5.7 vortec back in 05 for 1100$ from a 2000 cadilac escalade 40K , so you should be able to find a used 6.0 thats 5 years old for around the same loot

Damn, and that thing looked pretty good too! (for a mustang..)

Saw it drive past me when I was on my way to work a couple days ago.

86_irocz-28

yea it did look nice but on to updates got the gauges in today

Lmancha96

Cant wait to see paint on it, whos spraying it for you?

sucks about the mustang man hope the wife is okay.... Doesnt look like its to bad...

those guages look good.... Steering wheels next then you will have a complete 4th gen interior I think

86_irocz-28

Maaco will be spraying it and yea shes a little roughed up but shes a tough one. Gauges are alright however i want a new overlay for them never really liked the yellow lettering. Steering wheel yes however it will be a 91-92 steering wheel, seats dash and console are 4th gen but never liked the gap that the 93-96 camaros had

86_irocz-28

Anyways any body have wiring diagram for 93 z28 gauge cluster

Nice progress on the car! Its gonna be well worth the time, money and scrapes when your done. I cut my finger pretty good today working on my 89 RS lol.

86_irocz-28

Yea I know it will be progress has been kinda slow which is boring but with the new place and bills and the wreck but progress should pick up in the next few weeks btw how'd you cut your finger? Wanna make sure I don't make the same mistake lol

JustinZ28

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

I might be interested. Are the tires included?

Edit: Why are you selling the rims?

86_irocz-28

rims are sold have fun with them skinnyneb

86_irocz-28

went to upullit got a new headliner plastic piece along with this

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

I will! Have a friend who just bought himself an S10 and he is crawling all over me for a wheel trade.

86_irocz-28

cool cool well onward with this car got the sway bar endlinks changed out they werent coming off..... until i brought out the grinder also got the gauges put in and the lights wired up here they are

there brighter in person but not bright enough the stock yellow lens doesnt allow the blue leds to really shine through so debating on brighter leds or this new display or both

My vote goes to the new display

zmadmaxz

for 40$ and you are even debating it?!?!?! LOL that is the same place that made my gauges i think. That display looks pretty damn cool, personally i'd put it in my car if i had that style gauge. Since i have factory 86 gauges i went with those. Still want that 4th gen dash though!!!!

86_irocz-28

yea im going to get it this weekend

86_irocz-28

Small update started to redo the engine bay(after seeing others mine wasnt smoothed enough) worked on cleaning some of the chassis harness out of the way I also ordered the new display and should know sometime how much MDR wants for a paint job heres pics


Also instead of having 5-6 wires going to the pos. now theres just 1

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

MDR told me (before I started working there) $500 to respray half of my car where the paint is chipped and faded. Should be under $1000 for white if we do a simple scuff-spray-clear. I'm far from the boss though, but that is just my rough estimate.

86_irocz-28

mike quoted me $3500

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Wouldn't have imagined it would be near that much.. but I guess we have been having a terrible month. Down 2 people and a $100,000 car got totaled in the trailer. If you would've caught him 3 weeks ago I bet that price would be cut in half

86_irocz-28

Itll be awhile before i can get it down there due to its sitting on jack stands but yea he said it could be cheaper since theres no hatch on it plus i dont need the engine bay sprayed i told him id disassemble it to he said he would have his painter come check it out but $3500 is base price

86_irocz-28

decided to get a set of mud flaps for the back before anybody says something they are for functionality due to the last camaro I had got so many dents from rocks being kicked up nothing like a drive down back roads out to the lake

86_irocz-28

Got the new gauges in and wired up what do you guys think??

Skinny Neb

Lmancha96

Custom guages?

Looks pretty AWESOME!

Richboll

Those really look good!

86_irocz-28

Yes they are there really nice brighter in person crappy phone pics

Thanks! was starting to wonder if anybody was watching and following my build


Started on fixing minor details yesterday dying the pass side door panel epoxying the plastic door caps to the door panels got a few of the interior panel screws from upullit debating on whether to paint first or motor trans first need opinion of what you guys would do

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

Paint. That way you can have an engine bay matching your car.

Or buy a 6.0/t56, and build the 6.0 while the car is getting painted.

86_irocz-28

The engine bay will be done black which i can do that myself so whether i did motor/trans first or paint first the engine bay will be masked off im leaning towards paint first unless i run into a good deal on motor or trans

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

If you aren't going to paint your engine bay, then I'd do motor/tranny first because if you have my luck you'd scratch the hell out of your brand new paint job putting them in.

Been watching this one for a while now, just didn't have anything to say or any questions so far

Still here also.

86_irocz-28

well thanks guys got a few things for the camaro today got two stock 15" z28 rims for the time being just to get the rear sat down on the ground also got a dash cap didnt realize how much trimming measureing and cutting was required also got the pass. side iroc louver finally allso think i found the rims i want

Skinny Neb

iTrader: (2)

If you need a set of wheels/tires to roll that thing around I got my old z28s from my s10 that I'm not using.

Those wheels look good!

Richboll

What wheels are those?

86_irocz-28

not exactly sure but they look just like the ones im going to get from a shop around here

86_irocz-28

Dash has been dyed to match the rest of the interior used duplicolor prep spray and the vinyl/fabric semigloss black also got the dash cap trimmed and on(still needs dyed to match) next is to get the a pillars and blend then into the third gen ones and get rid of the steering wheel.... Also big thanks to skinny for letting me use the spare set of rims he had

86_irocz-28

Well windshield is out only took two hours......

Edit:Stupid mod I'm not keeping instead retrofitting hvac system from a 4th gen in

Lmancha96

The interior is looking great!

86_irocz-28

Thanks only need headliner, overhead console, and seat belts as for the rims found out they wanted $250 for the rims which is more than what there worth, the other three they dont have on display were chipped and had the clear flaking and they were the wrong bolt pattern......

86_irocz-28

Been busy redoing the engine the flat black just wasnt what i wanted so out came the welder and filler for holes and seems im beginning to run out of room also working on led lit engine bay



Before:

After:

cristianvarqas

Awesome job! It is looking nice.

Lmancha96

LED lit engine bay? Sounds interesting..

Gloss definitely looks better

jharrison5

Damn you have made a lot of progress since the last time I saw the car! I'm still working on my 86, but ended up with an 87 IROC so now the majority of my effort is going to go towards it. The body on the 87 is in way better condition and it is a factory 5 speed.

Oh and I don't have the diamond plate shifter cover anymore someone stole it along with a set of 15" bent rims I was going to trade in as scrap LOL!

86_irocz-28

looks really great with everything smoothed out


Id be glad to take the 86 off your hands and man seems like your place is a hot spot for parts

DonutGuard

Aw, c'mon... it'll buff out! Just needs a little elbow grease!

Nice find man, I love cars like this. Limitless potential with a low sticker price! You can literally do just about anything you want with the car and you don't even have to tear it down first because somebody did it for ya already!
