Another Iroc-z added to the Family!

just got her last week, shes a
1987 iroc-z fully loaded with a lot of not so common options "rare" im currently digging deep into her sole to revive her into another unforgettable 3rdgen, im also currently working on a 5.7 vortec engine, possibly Twin turbo? we shall see as to where i em financially, witch will back up the looks, i have pretty much already made up my mind as to paint, interior, engine, etc. etc. now its just time and money and time to let my creative ideas fly, heres a pic, as of right now "not in this pic" shes almost 80% gutted down to nothing but pre unadulterated metal....

Red, IROC, T-tops, no rust over wheel well that I can see. Good starter for a project car I'd say. Getting any warmer up there in Minn? Looking for a 60 degree day here in Ohio tomorrow, digging into my 88 for a general rework.

Supoerbowl is here is jax everyone, and i will defiantely be having the microphone outside, cause even tho i live 5 miles directly away from the stadium, you can hear almost every bit of the parties they are having, so i'll definately be able to hear this.

You can't edit your post because you're on probation. You're on probation for a reason so take a hint already. Is it that hard to think about what you type?
