my 84 Z28 project car
Well,
here's some pics of me tearing into my camaro. Hopefully, this will all be done by spring. What I plan to do:
Install all autometer guage cluster
Install 350/ turbo 350 as soon as i get them
Repaint entire engine bay(already started)
Repaint rear bumper
Install subwoofer, just one probably
Install Ws6 sway bars
Install new struts
Install new brake hoses with stainless lines from Earl's
Tune Holley carb better this year(so it's not running rich and bogging)
Sell hooker shorties and y-pipe, and install long tubes and duals...
well....the list is actually a lot longer lol

Projects are so much fun. right now I envy you, I can't find a project car around that is in good enough shape.

Actually i bought this car no motor/trans/bad interior for $500.
It's rust free so i thought it was a great deal. The paint buffed our really nicely and the car has never been wrecked. When I bought the car I thought it was a dark grey color....I buffed it out and it is a black with silver metallic in it.

I just started my 86 IROC project. It needs a lot but its all cheap and easy stuff...More or less alot of cleaning I mean alot.. every panal I pull of dust from gravel roads come flying off and dirt is just caked in the corners... But with a little TLC she'll be as good as new...
cant wait for next spring and some funds to finish
