Quebeker 1987 Z28 Build thread. + Story *56K*

Here's the story.

One day I was checking Camaro on sell. I came across this 1987 Camaro that looked very stiff. So I run to check it... No big problem, was wrecked on the gaz trap, floor pan looked OK, Minor rust on the rear panels.

I was talking with my mother on MSN and I showed her the car. She tell me to bargain the price more I can....

I tell her for 2300$ the guy will sell it to me If I pay cash.


My mother tell me : "Check in your bank account"

Se sent me 2400$ to buy it......

I was very very happy !!! I wasn't sure I wasn't dreaming.... Goddamn... My dream car :O


Here's the picture. When I bring it to home










186 000KM
305 4 BBL
700R4
3.23 open
Deluxe interior
Full of cool RPO code

Hellafrush JDM YO ****YEAH !

STACEWORK COROLLA YAY

Look I dropped the Corolla !



Here's how I dropped it.

Gettho


We had no music since the Radio died... So I was goddamn pissed off...

I hard wired my head unit to my battery



.... I realized that I had no choice to remove the steeering column to remove the brake booster...
so..



Then,

I began to convert that ****ing rust.




Here's the sroty about the paper on the side windows..
We began to remove the motor and the harness then I realize that I had my windows dropped down.... So... I was too lazy to remove the doors panels to hard wire the motor...

Paper will do the trick

Thx for the comments.

The red Camaro is not mine... It's owned by one of my best friend

He made his own injection with a JET and a Audio A8 fuel rail


That car only have 25 000KM.
