But yea, do you have a link to the pictures of the repair?
Crap, now i am not getting emails from site again. I am for PM's but not topic threads. Anyone know why? I checked my settings and it still says instant email notification.

Anyway, looks like i am too late as you fixed yours already, but here are some pics of what i did:

edit: ok, now it appears i can't even add pictures anymore. i used "manage attachments", browse, upload........but nothing

I think its just getting used to the settings on my welder. I have to tinker with the gas flow, wire speed and power setting some more before
I get the hand of it.

Re: 84 camaro restoration

well its been a while and i should have more to update but i don't have pictures. I pulled the dash apart and cleaned up some wiring. Their were some melted wired that i replaced as well, pics of that soon. Had a rain day today at work so i thought i would clean up the rear end before i put it in. I also welded the tubes.

Re: 84 camaro restoration

That had to be the worse ending to a project post chain I have read.
Besides the people that just stop posting.

Thanks for letting us know that the project ended.
Sorry to hear it had to go.

Very few Camaros of any generation to be found cheap in Canada, for rebuild or for parts.
