WTB: Front Shocks for an '84 Z28

Hey, just bought this thing and it handled like crap. Just dropped in poly sway bushings, poly endlinks, poly a-arm bushings, calipers, rotors, pads, bearings, ball joints, and the final touch (the only thing that was without a doubt in need of replacement) is the shocks. I can move em up and down their full stroke with ZERO effort (not to mention their oil is everywhere but inside).

I can't button this thing up without new shocks, and the above list sort of hurt the bank for the time being.

If anyone has a decent pair of good working condition, non leaking shocks for sale please let me know. They can be either aftermarket or used factory ones. I just need to drive the camaro so I can replace the rings on my Daily Driver/winter beater before it snows.


Thanks,
Oliver

I understand the money crunch, but all that new stuff with a set of beater struts/shocks?
