Re: My camaro Z28E 82

I also see that we have different style taillights, I think since 1968, the Law on yellow flashers, but my Volvo PV 544 police car it is legal to have red Back turn signals. Act came it necessary have warning turn signals rear of the car.
I will build new speaker box, this is too big

Re: My camaro Z28E 82

Either way its a good looking car! And they sell speaker boxes that fit in the trunk well so you don't lose all that visibility, or go like me ad my a self-contained unit like the Bass Link. But you never can go wrong with building your own box!

Re: My camaro Z28E 82

Very nice so far. Good paint work. What wheels are you going to use?

So what other differences are there on the E version of the 82 Z28 other than the tail light panel?

I'm going to start my 82 Z28 rebuild project soon, looking for a Ford 9" rear for a 3rd Gen.

Keeping posting cool Swedish cars.

Other differences sometimes include:

speedo as mentioned
tail lights as mentioned
flat hood
headlight bucket clear covers
different mirrors
no spoiler
reflectors on rear bumper cover
sport coupe steering wheel

There are probably many more. And each of the above is probably country specific.

It's cool these were exported to so many countries. Had more than only a north american appeal.

Re: My camaro Z28E 82

7 layers of clear coat. but it must have more clear coat, 9 layers can be enough. Many grinding and water grinding remains to be done. In the picture, my friend , I think he's tired of my accuracy. but I pay him good money.

Are front parking light lenses amber? I think my US market car has white lenses with orange bulbs. Not certain.

Amber lenses could be another export variance.
