Restoration help
I'm excited because I recently bought back my 1991 Camaro RS. It was my first new/real car. I sold it to buy a truck which seemed more practical at the time with kids and in the ice/snow. I regreted selling the Camaro almost immediately, but just recently got the opportunity to buy it back after about 2 years of teenager driver behind the wheel. Fortunately, nothing major was damaged, just needs some TLC.
My question is...should I worry about trying to keep the car as stock as possible (which it pretty much is now) and preserve the heritage. Or, go ahead and have fun with it upgrading components that I couldn't afford to do when I owned it!
I know it's probably been covered before, but I would appreciate an upgrade "checklist" if possible.
Thanks

if your worried about that then restore this car to origional quality, and your next car you can really go nuts on. restoring the first car will give you an edge on what will work and what wont for your second car. but if you wanna go all out, then go for it. you mayb need to look at what you want the car to be? a 10 second car or a 1st place show car?
