I have a perfect set of red cloth Deluxe Z-28 seats (front and rear), the rear is the folding split bench if you are interested. The complete set came out of a 1992 Z-28 that at the time had 27,000 miles. The owner of that car switched to blk/red leather interior. These seats that I have look great! PM me if you are interested. Shipping to Swiss may be a little on the expensive side though.

Great looking vert!

Mike

edelbrock stb, spohn sfc's, spohn adj. panhard, spohn wonderbar, intrax springs (2inch drop), adj. red koni shocks.
The rims are 8x18 and 10x18 boyds wrapped in 225/45 and 275/40 bridgestone s-02 pole position. Future modifocations will be: shaved antenna, shaved door locks (i will NOT remove the handles, because it doesn't look right IMO) and i am thinking about treat the interiour a little, which means a complete colour change. Ah, i almost forgot, i am still not 100% satisfied with the look of the rear lamps.

How do you jack the car up? I always though about dropping mine a little but I bottom out all the time and I have just masterd the technique of not scrapping my front nose on driveways. Do you ever have trouble bottoming out and scapping the nose since it is so low?

Its a very nice looking thirdgen. I don't like the color scheme of the interior but, its so nicely done that I still think it looks awesome.


I noticed you have the much desired smaller and slimer liscense plates. How were you able to get those?




Is it just me, or is every thirdgen in Sweeden and Norway super nice. I have yet to see any kind of flawed thirdgens over there.

Yeah, nice car man, please tell us about the scrapping. I have 18s and I want to lower it but I like my nose with fresh paint on it still. And where did you get those tail lights? Those look sweet.

Sweet car, I like the rims and the taillights.

BTW- Please check out the rules in the stickies at the top of the forum. If you are going to post more than three pics, please upload them to your own webspace. That way you can also post more than one image per thread. Thank you.

thanks for posting the pictures!!

looks 100% better then i thought it would.

could you please give me the complete specs and order build of the wheel (options you choose)? either post it or pm me. i want my rodders to have the exact same look but just a different center section "face" and the techs at boyd aren't exactly helping.

did you order it with the fat lip reverse mount option or did you just tell them the size and width and that's how it came out?

those are the gotcha series correct?

did you get them polished on the backside?

what offset/ backspacing did you get? custom or stock spec?

do you have any close ups of the wheel and some close ups of how it lines up with the outer fenderwells?

sorry for all the questions but i'm ordering my wheels tomorrow evening and your the only one who can help me. I must tell you that it's an absolutely sharp car......you need a cardomain site so you can post alot of pictures and then link it. i would love to see alot more pictures with different angles and close up pictures! great job and thanks again!

Yeah, I think the shaved antenna, Z28/IROC grille, and some grid tailights would be killer...

Actually if you can post the specs of the rims on this thread because I plan on getting rims latter down the road so I could use the specs. Plus I can get Boyds for cost but I plan to get a different set of rims!

I think it looks great!! Only things I could recommend are an interior color change, a Z28/IROC grill (w/o fogs), the DIY clear front turnsignal mod, and a 4 point rollbar (always looks good on verts IMO). I think the taillights look good.

the DIY turn signal mod is basically taking out those angled pieces that are in the front turn signal and regluing that clear plexi piece back again. This makes the turn signals have a "clear" appearance rather than the whitish appearance.

Did you use Testors for the rear light, and does the light still shine thru. If you don't want to answer it's ok, I think it looks good.
