Re: Greetings from Russia!

What are your plans for the car? Are you planning to get a bigger engine or are you going to keep it original?

Re: Greetings from Russia!

Do you know any history of the car? I have never seen a rear bumper like that before with the indentation for the Euro size plate.

welcome!
Crap, you're right. I looked at the last picture and the way I was looking at it made it look like it was a moulded indentation. I can see now that it's just a bolt on bracket.

Nice Camaro you have.

I used to live in Russia from 1992-1993. Worked for Intourist as a liason officer. Spent a lot of time in Lenningrad and Moscow.

Fantastic country. Nicest people in the world!!!
