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
