hello from France

Hello, (excuse my translation)
I restore a camaro z28 1991.
I love the USA and the Camaro.





Here is the link of the French site, to track the restoration.
http://www.forum-auto.com/automobile...ujet387891.htm

I discovered the camaro, and I ask myself many questions, because there are not many sources in France.

Best Regards,
Laurent.

Welcome to the board Laurent. That's a good restoration you carried out. I'm going to do one of my own in the next 10-15 years.

And I confirm, it's easier to restore an american car in France than a old european one. You just have to take into account shipping and taxes but it's very easy to find your parts need.

Where did you come from in France?

Re: hello from France

Yes he can buy one over there, but I gather he is seeking the pleasure of driving this particular car over there after putting in so much work to restore it.
