Im just curious who all has a third gens that drive them every day. I would like to see what your cars look like because im going for the show car/ daily driver... and i want to see what other people are working on. Granted that i wont drive my car in the snow and salt but other than that the winter months are still game. So post your pics of your daily driver project cars. I would really like to see what you are building. Ill start with my IROC-Z -Matt

 

right on bro...my camaro will always be a daily. imo GM didnt test cars in rain and winter weather for nothin!

just see my cardomain page

www.cardomain.com/ride/2674905

 

Daily driven all year. But, no Ronals in winter.

Daily driven and continuosly a project...

[IMG][/IMG]

 

Daily driver in my signature. And an ongoing project as well.

 

Here is my DD. I drive it every day...even when there is snow. I have had to return home and find another ride though when the snow won't allow me to make it out of my neighborhood...

 

Rain or Shine...No Snow in Cali!

 

Snow? What's that?

We get ice & rarely snow. But here is my DD...Sun, rain, snow or ice! In fact, it is my ONLY car.

Future Wife's... That I also drive everyday lol...

 

WOW, there are more than i expected. All of those cars look great. Its nice to see i wont be the only one. I cant wait to get mine up there with the rest of them. Keep posting guys. -Matt

Btw i love your yellow iroc 85IROCZ-28

 

This is my daily driver for part of the year anyway. The winter here in ohio will literaly eat a third gen haha

 

Here is my 90 L98 Iroc. Its got 170k on it but runs very stong. Only mod on the motor is an Edelbrock lower plenum.

 

Here is my dayly driver. 1986 camaro with a fresh 350tpi swap. I took her to work every day this summer (60km per day). and drives only on nice days during winter time.

In beater mod.



And after a wash.









Thanks Jazz (and yes i know the front is damaged i have all the parts just havent had the time)

 

hey man, i love that 86. Gotta love the red 86 irocs. They are my favorite. Im biased tho lol Whip that baby in shape and u will have my twin lol. -Matt

 

Heres mine, driven every day unless its getting fixed, which happens more often than my wallet would like. And it is constantly an ongoing project, with no end in sight anytime soon.

 

heres my project rain snow shine shes on the road not to much in the last year but a lot more since my brother got his drivers license and his car dosent run hes been drving it alot onley cause i dont have a license but i still get her out a couple times aweek but shes out daily and its all ways been that way and has 290,000 miles to prove it

 

looking good guys.. i drove mine today like normal and we had a bad rain... my poor car got soaked and so did the interior Time to get seals...

 

heres my daily drivers.. a 84 z28 H.O & a 89 iroc-z with a 350 TPI (thats about time to rebuild, will be a 383 TPI by next summer)

i have a full 91-92 body kit to put on here & im putting louvers back on the iroc-z's hood & using the blisters on the 84 if ya wanna see more go to my cardomain page..

 

hey man nice cars, I like the iroc but that 84 Z is hot man. Also good choice in seats... have an identical set.

 

thanks man, its ok for now i cant wait to get the new body kit & aero spoiler painted & mounted on.. im still needing a nose with 91-92 ground effects on it though

but ive been spending most of my money on the iroc lately & mainly trying to get it looking decent.. it sounds good though but its a lil weak haha

 

speakin of seats i just seen your yellow camaro on cardomain.. & on mautofied a while back haha

so i went back & dropped a comment on your iroc

 

Not near as clean as others on here.... yet. It's a work in progress. I'm currently working on the interior. Finished a ls style 5.3 swap with 4l60e tranny over the summer. Going all black and charcoal interior and orange and black outside with billet specialty wheels. Getting it all done in due time.. Still a college student at least for about 7 more months.. Let me know what you guys think.







And yes it's driven everyday!

 

nice, how easy did the 5.3 go in? i might be interested in trying that because LS-1's are expensive as hell here (and anywhere)

 

every day. except when i go on dirt roads, then the truck makes an appearance

 

It really isn't a hard swap at all. I used the truck harness and just hooked up like 10 wires to the fuse box and that was it. Of course I did delete all unwanted wires first and had my pcm retuned. for mounts I modified trans crossmember and got motor plates to set it back an inch.

 

It was my DD for 2 days before I broke a push rod and rocker arm stud, now its in pieces getting rebuilt to be FASTER. It has no heat, no air, no radio.. 3500 rpm converter, th350 and a vortec headed 400sbc..

Im 17, and after i graduate and get back from the air force boot camp it will be my daily driver again...

Hope this counts?

 

sure man, thats a sweet lookin bird. Good luck in the Air Force. My best friend left for it in June.

 

Daily driven, then detailed and taken to shows.

She needs a new coat of paint, though... a deer bounced off the front bumper and made spiderweb city. Luckily not too much damage. The hood's a little wonky, but she still looks good... from 5 feet away... or from the back, which is what most people see anyway.

 

now that looks killer man NICE T/A

 

Fixed, and thank you!

- Emily

 

Daily driven for almost 5 years. Ive put on maybe 25k miles. Working on an engine/tranny/rearend swap. Just had it painted, and bought the wheels about 3 years ago. It needs an interior, and a winsheild. But it starts every morning.

 

Im so sorry, i wasn't payin attention. I normally wont say that unless i know but i just ran through real fast before i had to go to school. My Apologies. -Matt

 

If it was the first time it happened, I would be upset. If it was the last time it happened, I would be in disbelief.

No hard feelings or anything. It just makes me feel better to correct people. People see my cars and assume they're a guy's. Happens all the time.

 

well then i guess that makes you one Bad *** chick lol

 

not exactly my daily driver because i have a 91 dodge d250 with a cummins/5spd with 500k on that gets far better fuel economy than my 'bird, but it does get taken out when i realize it has more fuel in it than anything else or when i don't feel like rowing gears in town in a 3/4ton truck. it's pretty much ready for paint at this point, though i don't really have the cash to do that yet. and honestly, i kinda need to sell it...but here's a couple of pics:

84 firebird s/e with an 85-90 style front clip








260hp gm 350 crate motor with some extra goodies:


1998 formula seats with functional power drivers side.

 

hey man thats a good lookin bird even with it needing paint. I like how you just get teasing hints of ur RS and ur brothers camaro in the back ground. Nice set of third gens. -Matt

 

Dont forget his fathers camaro in the garage!

 

wow man good eyes i didn't notice that

 

The maroon one on the right is my DD. Black iroc is my brothers and is a summer cruiser only

 

 

I drive mine almost every day. No snow here, thank goodness.

 

Daily drove it up until it tried to commit suicide a few weeks ago. Rain, snow, shine, fog, dark, light, winter, summer, anywhere and everywhere I drove that car. And most times with the top down, incliment weather be damned.

As soon as I get the LS* in it, it'll go back to the body shop to be fixed and then go back to daily driver status.

 

ya sorry that happend ian.but im sure she will have a much beter life with that ls motor

 

Heres mine, its not very nice but I do drive it everyday, and it is a project.

 

How do you like the T10? Do you have any info on them? I may pick one up. How many MPG are you gettin?

 

I'll try to get pics of my car up during the day, just washed her tonight!

 

91 z-28 daily driven rain or snow dont really have a choice anyways haha. oh well its half primered now like 3/4 of every other camaro out there. once thats done its time to dig into the motor.

 

Hey lookin great,
RK82: I like the look of the old school pontiac mags. They look sweet. You gonna put the whole set on? I like it.

These cars make me more proud to drive my camaro because i know im not the only one who doesn't have another car to drive at the moment. I can bum my moms truck sometimes but thats normally being used. Thanks for posting. Keep it up

 

Man I love all of yalls cars.I just have to say If you must drive them everyday be careful and keep em up.I couldnt bare to drive mine all the time in all weather and keep racking up the miles.I mean I could/can drive her daily and do when my truck is down.I just had to buy me a beater pickup to keep my baby in the garage until its time to play.Plus usually both arnt down at the same time.Our cars are getting harder to find in good shape like these.
