I want to see before restoration and after restoration pictures of yalls cars to give me a will to restore my car and not sell it.

 

Before

 

After

 

Another

 

The back

 

The interior started as a standard gray

 

Another and I'm done:

 

A few more old pics on my site. Oh, since these pics I put the door panels, nose emblem and grille back on, replaced the exhaust with Dynomax 2-1/2" cat back, and got a set of 91-92 Z28 16" wheels.

Motivated yet?

 

that still looks good... 4thgen seats.. i need to get some for mine

 

If your car is a 89, how come its got a 91-92 nose?

 

because i put it on because i think it looks better hehehe first time ive ever got asked that lol

 

bolted up just right just had to rig the fog/blinkers up a little no biggie... im gonna put 89 gta ground effects on it though lol (from doors back)

 

Sounds good. I decided to leave my car without gfx, to be different.

 

before..

 

after... kept original colors but ditched the rust.

 

original engine too...

 

Not restored, but a good looking car is worth a thousand words...

(If image doe not show, link is in sig)

I can't help but notice the last three of us are all underdogs (with fours and sixs )

 

befor, I got this pic. from the previos owner and this is when it was still in good condition,,it got worse befor I got it,,(only gave $600. for it.)You would never beleve the $$ I have spent on this car,,but I guess alot of us can say that..
after is in sig.

 

Hey Mike86SC, I was the guy who came by with my friend and took your old front seats, remember? Turns out they didn't fit in his 81 Z28 like we were told they would, oh well, easy come easy go. Car looks nice, good luck with it.

 

Yeah I remember you guys. Too bad they didn't work. What did you wind up doing with them any way?

 

I think they're sitting on the side of my friends house. He's probably going to ditch them since the one had the tear in it.

 

I would show the before and after but.. it would be "before" and "before.5" since there is still so much I want to do with the exterior and interior. It's got go but it needs more show and more whoa

 

heres my 87 before and after pics, interior is the biggest change, i bought it from a guy that had tan interior in it (what the hell was gm thinking with that one?) and the paint was a very faded torch red...

heres the pics













i know you guys like it better this way

 

part 2 of the old way

 

new pics #1

 

new pics #2

ive since addded a few things, the plenum is now black with "tpi' in red and the wires and old wire covers are now in red

 

dude did u actually put a gay *** body kit on ur camaro? if so u should be shot and the car given to a camaro with the heart to put it back to the way to was.

 

BEFORE:


AFTER:

 

Before..

 

Still in the process because it's an 86 but I'm going to put in a 92 dash--like that setup much better

 

I love these door panels!!

 

Jim85IROC did an amazing job with his ride... he'll probably be here soon.

iroc2nv, you call adding that body kit and wing RESTORING the car? Personally I think you ruined it. It looked much better before. But its your car.

 

erm, that looks photochopped onto the car, the bumper and the shadows look off.

 

I'm here.

I swear somebody asks for before/after pics once a week. Too bad this site doesn't have a search feature... oh wait.

Anyway, on to the cars:





I'll post the GTA in the next message.

 

GTA:








I really need to take some new pics of the GTA.

 

hey jim, i aint getting the pics of the GTA

 

ohh wait fbody.com appears to be down, cuase my pic and site ain't showing either

 

Just started to resotre my body Tonite about 6. Lots of bondo work. My car had a rough life since it left arizona. first the paint peeled then the dents then the chips. now its salt. But I undercoated the cassies and wheel wheels so rust does not hit it to bad. Hey Mikes86SC like the car mine is the same way but it will be mettlic blue. Sorry I dont have pics. Jim85iroc I think I have seen your car.

 

 

You may have if you ever venture up to the Pittsfield area.

 

Before

 

AFTER

 

hey wraith,

hard to believe thats the same car! I never seen before pics of yours before. That is just hurrible, but she looks good now

 

Wraith, I'm going to bring those heads to the local machine shop next week; if they check out with a magnaflux, I'll try my hand at a port job!

 

... it was bound to happen eventually. please tell me that is photoshop'd .

 

NO IT ISNT A BINGE DRINKING PHOTOSHOP CAR...AND THATS THAT

 

here we go again

 

awesome...it will be nice to see those get some use. The block is still sitting there at the house. It really needs to go though, because i have a garage full of parts, and my brother has an iroc project now too.

stuart, thanks. A lot of work went into this car. Everything inside and out has been redone. Obviously you can see the exterior mods. Red interior swapped to charcoal gray and black with a lot of upgrades. Suspension is about 85% upgraded to where i want it, and i'm working on the drivetrain now. T56 swap will be done by the end of this month with some luck, and next up is the engine. I have my heads and induction system ready to rock and roll, just need to put together a really stout short block for them to bolt onto. Rear is on the list soon. I just want to be able to reliably drive it more often. I've had a ton of problems over the last year.

 

great progress wraith, good luck on the rest

can't wait till mine looks as good

 

that's not a bad car you have there....my first car was an 88 sport coupe, v6. Did a lot to that one too:



i just ran into it recently....the paint and bodywork i did 6 or 7 years ago on it was pretty much undone and then some.
