my new project: project iroc

got rid of my 90 honda civic and got me another camaro. straight trade. plus i got some extras but that will be revealed at a later date.... The car i got is a 1989 Light blue metallic RS camaro. has nice gray leather interior. interior is in better condition than the interior on my other camaro.

this is how she looked when i picked her up. definately needed a drivers side fender.

since it needed a fender i went ahead and got one. i also got another hood because i didnt care for the flat plain boring RS hood so i bought a z28 hood from a friend....fender was black and hood was white. and as you can see the rest of the car is smurf blue. well it would bother me to ride around with different color body panels so.....tape 'er up.

Re: my new project: project iroc

i also have a 91 z28. its been basically fully overhauled except for the engine. i removed the door molding on it. and probably will on this car too but it will wait until real paint. look thru my threads you'll see my white 91 z28. i think im one of the few on here with ghost heritage stripes and full HID conversion(headlights and fogs) and it has the all red tail light mod.
