Hi my name is weston, i just got an 89 sport coupe, like 3 days ago. It was blue, then blac, the some idiots put some kind of stripper on it. it looks like crappp. but i wanted to show it before, then after later. its a 305, automatic.

 

Nothing that can't be brought to life. You gotta start somewhere. But good luck with it!

 

Oh yeah, a little work, and she'll be a hottie.

I am tired of seeing Mustangs all over the place, too. They suck. They're like a frickin' virus or something.

You don't see very many nice Camaros around.

the only thing that sucks about this car is it has to be taken back to bare metal to fix all the stripper stuff. little bit of work, but hey i got time.

 

Yeah, just wait until it is warm and put some more stripper on it and get all the rest of the paint off, then use some 80 grit sandpaper and finish getting the paint off that the stripper won't get off, then sand it down with around a 180 grit, then clean it, prime it, seal it, and you're ready to go.

That's how I always did my trucks, and it worked well.

Stripper works well when used properly.

 

welcome to the boards and good luck with the car..hopefuly it wont take the WHOLE summer and u can be out on the road enjoying the good weather!

 

Hey, where at in Texas?

I just stripped mine down Friday and painted it yesterday. Now, the fun part of wet sanding and buffing is ahead.

 

yeah i never thought to just strip it right, lol. yeah but for some reason its making a popping noise and squats back when i launch it hard, any ideas?

 

I finally got around to posting up some of my updates, I got it mostly primed and a descent front clip, still needs a fender and a door [i got a door just not on yet]...
Im going to put this 350 in there next week, i just love the way it looks so i wanted to put it on here...

 

hey man, nice starter car. Doing good work man. Just keep it up man and you will be fine. Doing great as of now. Whats the plans for color? -Matt

 

That does look good. Things look to be moving along nicely. I am not too sure about the green on the engine. I prefer black, silver, or red engines. That is just me though.

How is the interior?

 

Im gonna satin black it till i can afford a good gloss black
The interior is not that great but im working on it too, i need a dash and a headliner and the arm rests of course...

Will the flexplate off my 305 tbi work with that older 350???

 

not a big fan of the green engine or the mesh grill insert but looks a lot better now then when you first got it. pretty clean and straight!! if you dont mind me asking, how mush did you pay for it?

 

Well 200$; well actually paid 200$ for a truck then traded it for gas mileage and now i want another 350 lol, i dont like the grill during the day, but at night with my green leds on it looks cool.. i need to get a night picture because with all the green leds everything else makes sence like the motor color; green is my favorite color...
heres a pic of the truck not the best but i put almost 100,000 miles on it the year i had it lol
