Is this an easy fix?

 

 

HAHA! You beat me to that one Brennan!!

 

threads like this are showing up alot lately like this one a little while ago https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...-electric.html

 

HAHA! I have seen lots of this!
So turbo,care to clarify what the problem is?

 

The problem is, pictures aren't showing up.

 

I can buy this car for $650, needs carb. I'm not much of a body man, but I'm one hell of a welder. That's the only rust spot on the car.

 

A Carb'd IROC-Z?

 

LOL!!!

i guess it must be an aftermarket "hotrod" carb.
FI > Carb

 

You could get a carbed IROC (L69 engine) in 85, and I think still in 86-87 as well.

That looks like some serious rust there, the short answer is no, it's not an easy fix. If you have the tools to cut out the rust and weld in a new panel, it's not impossible, but definitely will take some work.

 

now thats something that makes more sense lol. its definitely not what i would call "easy" but its fixable without a doubt, assuming its dont spread much further then that.and there are plenty of factory carburated irocs out there

 

I think it would be easier to change the whole fender, look at the hole behind the ground effect !

I'm sure you can find the easily in the US.

 

Looks like some of these so called experts don't know their irocs? Yes, carbed, 305 HO L69 engine.

For $650 would it be worth fixing? I've done small rustorations, but it looks like I'll have to cut quite a bit out. Can I just buy the panel from the body line down? \

 

if your takin about the crease at about the half way mark yes i bought one about 2 months ago cuz mine was rusted under the gfx in that spot IIRC it was 30-40 bucks

 

Brennan, where did you get it?

 

i bought it from napa but they ordered it from here http://www.crosscanadaparts.com/cgi-...ml?img_num=699 part # 699-60R

 

if the rest of the body is solid, the engine runs strong, and the car has not been "modified" too much, I say buy it.

 

How come nobody around me has projects like this I could work on. Easy fix? ... yes! If you know what you're doing.

 

What makes this NOT an Iroc? That the pretty wheels are gone? lol

 

i know why its not an iroc, no iroc wheels and its carbed also the stripe delete [/sarcasem]

 

 

iroc was really just a package anyways. who cares if it is an iroc or not? if the car is in good condition 650= good deal.

 

The guy is getting desperate. I held off for awhile, now he's down to $500!! SOLD, to me! Going to get it today.

 

man what a deal! whats the mileage on it?

 

odometer says 77000. I ran the vin on carfax due to the salvaged title. It reported an accident with no structural or frame damage, and the odometer reading was inaccurate. The engine code says it was a 305 TPI, which is gone. I did find 305 tpi motor and trans for $500 with the computer and all the wiring harness. 72000 miles out of a 92 bird. It needs door hinge bushings, inside door handle, radio bezel. Just needs some tlc and a little rust repair and some paint. I'm thinking black with hugger orange hockey sticks. Kind of like this one.

 

I never claimed to be an expert.

 

im pretty sure that car is owned by someone on the boards. no idea who youve got your self a nice project there. it sucks that someone would ditch the tpi motor tho
