Finally got my car back

it been three years but i finally got my car back. when i was 16 and young i sort of damaged it. but iver been woking hard on it for almost 4 years now. and its finally driveable. still needs some work. but i am excited and had to share it with everyone else. let me know what you think, its not often you see 82-84 zs with ss hoods.

Looks great. Good to see one rebuilt instead of crushed after being wrecked.

i got the wheels about three years ago and had the back spacing wrong. well by the time i got them mounted to tires and the car it was too late to take them back. i hated those wheels sticking out at first and then it started growing on me. but i still want 17s. im getting ready to sell these and get 17s. thanks all for the compliments.
