ok I finally got some pics. hope you like

 

shes old school, ill give ya that much.

 

heres some more

 

Get rid of the stickers under the mirror, give it a fresh coat of paint, and then don't change a thing with it. She looks great.

 

and more

 

ohh i plan to. i am going to chang the rims to weld recing and im going to paint her stock colors but with much better paint

 

how 'bout some of that 383? sounds like quite the little hotrod! i'm diggin' the old skool look to it too. make sure you get pics of the car with the weld! can't go wrong with rodlite/draglites/pro-stars on a berlinetta/sportcoupe! i got rodlites on mine...

 

Don't change rims or anything, get rid of the mods and keep it stock. Not too many Berrly's in original condition left.

 

wtf? noway man, these things make some seriously awesome drag cars! keep on truckin' bro!

 

i think the interior would be the first thing i would address. then take off the bumper strips on the sides and paint it and new rims and she'll be lookin good.

 

what do you mean by the take off the bumber stips. are you talking about the black and gold strip that go's all the way around the car?. if you are than no way. thats how someone know you have a berlinetta. its kinda special, only berlinetta had it

 

I think he means the strips on the side of the car. They're there to prevent dings and such if people open there doors and bang them off your car.

EDIT: Enlarge the pic to see what I mean.

 

Nice car I have an 84 Berly but its all rusted out. What size rims and tires are you running? I have been wanting to get the same look for my 91 RS

 

There amercian racing rims. 15/8 front and back. the back tires are 265/60/15. i cant tell you the front right now "im not at my house at the moment" if you check up on this thread ill tell you in a day or to if that kewl. Hey thanks for what you said about my car. that kinda stuff means alot.

 

I love non ground effects cars!!

Maaco paint and it will be awsome


Im just not fond of the front rim

 

yah i know what you mean. the reason there on there is my friend gave them to me for $20 bucks. know one could pass that up

 

She's got potential, but she needs an overhaul. Weld wheels sounds good to me. The only suggestions I can make are to get rid of the bump strip on the doors and fenders, paint the white part of the tail lights black, and paint the car(red sounds good). Oh and dont lower the car. Leave the height as is, IMO it looks awesome. It has a muscle look to it, but if you lower it you'll just ruin everything muscle about it Get some all white lettered tires for those welds.

Are those chrome fender wheel well trim? Did you do them yourself? Looks pretty good but they need to be polished.

Well good luck with the project. Be sure to post some progress pics.

 

Hell yes my friend! Leave the stripes, the bump guards, and throw on some freshpaint, recover the seats, and let her be!

If I get the chance, I'm painting my sportcoupe marroon/grey two-tone, with the red stripes around the bottom.

STOCK!!!! haha

nice berli,
Brandon

 

here the problem with the hight thing. i want to keep my ride hight but i dont want any body roll. i know all the suspension parts im going to use but the spring and shocks. every good brand of spring and shocks want to lower her and i dont. can someone help me?

 

stock replacement IROC springs...

 

I have those, highly recommend! I can take a right hand turn at 35 like nobody's business...of course i have a few other small things, but I'm very pleased, for the budget I'm on, with how my car handles.

 

from what year camaro spring do i need to buy them. and if i buy them they will keep my ride hight?. ohh what about shocks. i really dont want stock shocks. but keep in mind i want my ride hight to stay the same

 

the ride height will be really close to the same. you can get them from 85-92 irocs, z28's, and ws6 package firebirds...but i would buy some brand new if your looking for some with good spring rates. you can actually get them from NAPA...

 

Nice looks good kinda reminds me off my berlinetta

 

Hey man nice Berlinetta. when i got mine, shes had the V8 in her and it was ok. i could get her to about 120MPH. But now its a hole nother deal. She has a 383 small black chevy, " 426hp but was 510hp when I was running her at the track". a Turbo 350 trans with a 2500 stall, "was a 3500 at the track". and last but now least it the 1992 trans am rear end, it has a 4.11 gear. i have a ford 9" but im saving up for a good LSD to go in her.

you can do a lot with her. as long as you keep that bond you have with her. i never lost mine. i think you and all third gen owners know what im talking.

hey good luck.

 

damn nice berly's... wish i had the money to do what i want with mine (V8 swap ect ect) anywho keep up the good work!

 

here's how mine sits... I have Moog Iroc springs from Spohn, and KYB-GR2 shocks/struts.



I think it's pretty close to stock ride height. I believe the front sits a tad higher than it used to, I took about 75lbs off the nose end...

Anyways I hope these help you decide on shocks/springs!
Brandon

 

Thanks. Your car sounds real cool and fast. Mine if tried could prob get up to 90 if lucky but all the bondo would come off LOL but nice car

 

thanks man , your berly looks damn good, i really like that way your car sits, i think i know what im going to buy for mine
----------
Thanks man, it will happen one day. it look me 4 years
----------
dude, i dont care if you are had a V2 in her, "lol". she still looks really nice.

 

that would be a v-twin...

 

thanks! but its just a sport coupe, but i knew what ya ment!

Glad I could be of some help selling ya on those IROC springs...

Brandon

 

Reminds me of my Berlinetta, but mine is slow as molasses. She's my first car and I love her, got big plans. Nice car you got there! Here's a pic of my Berlinetta (1982):

 

since we're throwin' up pics...here is the most up to date one of my 1990 Ralley SportCoupe:

 

you might want to double check on the ride height being the same with iroc springs, because in most years (i know in mine at least) they were slighly lower than all other model camaros...just double check

 

I used to hate the front end on my car but after seeing how nice the car can look, I think it just makes it unique.

 

couldnt resist

 

well, i said it would be the same because i highly doubt that the saggin' factory 1982 springs in his ride are going to be higher than a brand new set of stock IROC springs. i figure it'll be right at the same, if not just a little bit higher.

 

i doubt i would run factory iroc springs in that car. the picture posted of the red one is a nice car but it looks like a 4x4... a set of lowering springs would make that car really nice. but i like em low... lol

 

LOL thanks.

 

Looks like a good car, give it a nice paint job and a good tune up and will be a realy nice car.

 

I have a tip for you. Some of your int is in good shape just dirty it could clean up real nice. Try some simple green on that int. My car was repainted and they got black paint on the plastic tried all kinds off cleaners but did not come off, I was almost gonna paint it but my mom told me about that simple green and it came right out, and took alot of stains out of my carpet plus it made my car smell clean just thought I would let you know and you can use it on anything it says do not use on plastic but I used it on all kinds of plastic and did not hurt it

 

Sorry about all the posts LOL but I was just reading and saw this and I have to agree with him

 

Someone agrees with me!? Wow thats a rarity lol. 85CamaroDude's Camaro is almost exactly what I would want in a car, I'm doing something similar to mine(Different wheels, Orange, and other small things here and there) but I really look up to his car. Everybody's picture in this topic look awesome.

 

alright...what the heck does FTW mean?

 

Thanks!!

 

Yah I love the fact that all the cars in this thread have know gfx. Everyone car looks really good. Ill try the simple green thing. I think it will work. I think theres a portion of Berlinettas and Sports Coupe owners and really need to get out there.
I consider use the forgotten part of the Camaro genre. I want the Berlinettas and Sports Owners to show that there still here and still have a big part of the name Camaro

Well I still need help on shocks and spring, So if anyone can help

 

dude...i started the "GFX Haters UNITE!" club like 2 years ago...search for threads that i started in the auto detailing and appearance board and you'll see all kinds of sportcoupe/berli pride!

 

Cool, the simple green is hard to find but it works realy good. To bad you dont live near me I could clean your int. up and make it look new LOL or close to it. Im realy good at cleaning interiors.

 

I don't think I have ever seen this body style with gfx, though I can't say i hate them, not for my Berlinetta, but my RS has them.

 

FTW means For the win, I figured that no one would know what it meant
