Here's my new F-Body! 1986 Chevrolet Camaro that's now a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

Some of you may know me, some may not...

I had a yellow 1989 Pontiac Firebird a while back and a bright red 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA...

I sold everything, but I wasn't able to live anymore without an F-Body... So here's my brand spanking new (well, for me hehe) 1986 Chevrolet Camaro!

It used to be a V6 base car, but it received EVERYTHING from a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. Engine, transmission, suspension, spoilers, wheels, brakes, dash, rear end etc etc... It's really an 89 IROC-Z now you could say.

The engine is a 350 TPI by the way, everything from the IROC have about 65 000 miles on it now.

Here's some pics of the car as it sit right now in the parking. Did not was it today and all, but it give you a good idea:

Looks real nice! I just bought a '91Z with the 350 TPI and it has a long way to go to look as nice as yours!

Woah, thanks!

Well, it's going to get some parts painted next week, so it should be pretty good after that.

It's know me that did the whole swap. Maybe the car was accidented? Rust? I don't know.
