My friend stopped by a little earlier while I was working on my interior (changed from gray to black) and he had his dig. camera with him so I decided I'd take a few pics. Unfortunetly, it was at like 9:30, so it's really dark out, and it was my first time using a digitial camera, so they're not exactly good pictuires, but they're something...

Oh...and the car's really dirty (it snowed for the last 2 days), but you can't really see that..

Come on! Pics with a good flash or in daylight!

Yellow vert? Suh-weet!

:hail: Yellow 3rd gen:hail:

*** I love the yellow camaro's. Don't like it as much on birds, but a 92 yellow GTA looks good. ^_^

 

I told my friend to come by again saturday afternoon. Hopefully (if it's nice out again) I'll be able to wash the car and take some much better pics then. But for now, this is all I have. Besides, it's better now. You can't see all the imperfections now, like the slashed top and smashed tailight (damn vandalism) Or the result of driving the car in the snow (the front's a little chipped, not that bad, but noticable. It's from a sort of snow plow effect)

Anyway, I really want to get some shots of my interior. It's nothing special like some of the 4th gen stuff I've seen on here, but I've switched everything so far except the seats from gray to black, and the improvement is unbelievable. Too me, it looks so awesome. Now, when I get some new seats, the interior will be mint. I just don't know what seats to get, and I don't want to spend a lot on 'em.

 

Yellow 3gen Camaro's are the sh:t!! I love those.

 

Oh, and I never noticed it before, but after looking at my crappy pictures (3 and 4) it really looks like the front, if nothing else, needs to be lowered.

 

Looks cool, NOW TAKE SOME IN DAY LIGHT

 

Looks nice, never saw a yellow 'vert. I just wish the headlight pockets were black.

 

agreed. i like the yellow, but it needs a little to break it up. black headlight pockets would do that nicely. still a gorgeous car though

 

yo just a word of advice

i agree with the black headlights... a must

another thing you should do VERY SOON is paint your wheel wells black... the insides...

it will give your car that new look.

other than that, veyr nice car.

 

I agree with that, and will be doing it shortly, but I like the way it looks with body colored headlight pockets.. The hood blisters are black and break up the yellow

 

Bitchin' car dude

 

awesome lookin car i want to see the pics in good light get on it will ya!:hail:

 

Quick question:

Should I use flat black or a gloss black to do the wheel wells?

And how should I prep it to paint? I've never actually felt under there, but the surface seems, or at least looks, kind of rough. Should I just wash it real good and spray, or should I sand it, and if so, what grit? Like a 600 or something? It's a hidden area, so you know it doesn't have to be perfect, but I want it to come out good.


Oh, and I'm considering painting the grill area black. Opinions?

 

i just cleaned it real good, made sure all the dirt or most of it was out. then used gloss black paint. came out good IMO.

by the way that's wax on the door, not chipped paint.

 

looking good.

 

nice i like the yellowness of the vert........that is a different front gfx right? it looks longer or something.....maybe after this hard days work my eyes are messed up.....

 

that's just the way the 91-92 gfx look bubba

 

is it just the pic, or do you have clear tailights?

 

Actually, it's neither. I have a smashed tailight
..Damn vandalism ( I also have a 12" slit in the top from that too, but it's covered with black duct tape...fixes everything, you know )

 

Here is the answer to your question, i did mine just a couple of months ago.

What I did: I put the car on jackstands with all four wheels off. I put supermarket bags (just a plastic bag) over my brakes.

Then grab some varsol, tape off the very edges of the wheel well to protect it from the varsol (and the paint overspray later too). Varsol your wheel wells clean... that **** works very good. Even get some simple green and spray it on the tough dirt too.

You will start to see a big difference, your wheel wells will look almost all black with the varsol and simple green.... but obviously better with paint. Then wait a day until all the varsol dries up... and paint it. I personally used this black paint... it was called "RUST PAINT" so I guess it's an undercoat at the same time. I don't think glossy would look too good.

Careful what paint you get. The first wheel well I did, I didn't use this RUST PAINT and I don't know it was funky it was almost like the paint was watered down... and it started running. The RUST PAINT on the other hand stuck like a bitch, just how I wanted it.

The end result, what a difference. Seriously, I went to carshows last year and was pissed of because my wheel wells were always dirty... But now... my car looks like it's right off the lot.

Good luck.

 

Sweet man! I love convertibles :hail: :hail:

I thought my paint might show every little nick...I can only imagine how tough it is maintaining your car!

 

Here are a few more pics I just took with my webcam. At least they're during the day.

Oh, and it's supposed to be really nice tomorrow, so I'm gonna wash and wax her, then take some good pics. I can't wait

And on a side note, if anyone cares, here's some pics of my old '94 TA before I sold it:
1994 Pontiac Trans AM GT

 

1 more

(oh, and if anyone is wondering, yes it's a ford color. It's 1994 Ford Chrome ("canary") yellow. My favorite color.

 

dude.. how far away do you live from springfield? would love to see that car in person if its not to far!

 

I'm a good hour, hour and a half. I basically live in RI. I'm right on the border of Woonsocket. I know it's about an hour, hour and a half drive from here to Six Flags NEw England.

 

hehe yea i just did a map quest to see how far you are... maybe on a good day ill venture and meet some of you strange NE fbody owners!
