Saved From The Wrecking yard
This is my friends 92 Camaro RS 305 TBI that was wrecked. Someone hit it hard in the rear passenger quarter panel and door. It was going to the junk yard but we saved it for $250.00 and drove it home as is. We then made some calls and searched craigslist and found a new door, fender, quarter panel, and front clip for around $100.00 all body work was done by us in the driveway and is now a daily driver. The motor is spotless. We found headers for 30.00 and are going to put those on in a couple of weeks.
Lucky enough I own a vinyl plotter so the nice f-bomb was made for free as well as the windshield banner. We are going to paint it this spring with metallic black.

Re: Saved From The Wrecking yard
Congrats on the save, I hate seeing these going to the junkyards, I am saving a 91 myself. My front clip was smashed up as the previous owner hit a telephone pole. I pieced it back together using all used but rust free parts minus a Harwood 3 inch fiberglass hood. Its rewarding when you are all done.
