Comment: Red, V8, good running cond, t-roof, 2 door underbody excellent, minor rust on ext, 5 speed manual, lots of torque, good engine needs water pump, 200,000 km, $950 b.o. (519)666-0933 - Ilderton. (CLZBFH)

wondering what a good company to go with is for said waterpump, as well anything else i should be looking for for this car. Also want to know what i should do first as far as upgrades go, and is this asmall block or a big block...srry about the questions ive never really looked at comaros before i was looking at a transam but am no longer. any help would be greatly apreciated thanks.

 

ok first thing you gotta know is its CAMARO and second that sounds like a not bad car. see how bad the rust is and offer himmoney accordingly. personally i'd never tough a car with rust on it but thats me

 

I'd just go to the local auto parts store and pick up a remanufactured water pump, they are relatively cheap.

Assuming it has the factory engine, it is a small block 305.

 

yea, i hae been having trouble spelling lately, its the hole out of school for 2 months thing, and i dont mind getting car with rust on it, my dads cousin can do body work so i could just get him to help me out with it, as long as it hasn't eaten throught the body ill probably pick it up. and rs freak thanks for that, wasn't sure the engine type and couldn't find it anywhere else, and in all honesty i didn't look very hard in teh first place

 

Problem is, when rust shows it's ugly face on our cars, it usually has done lots of damage to the floors, wheelhouses, etc.

 

this forum really needs a delete button for individual users =[

 

...not sure what you meant by that...

 

Rust = hell. I wouldnt mess with a rusty car because it spreads so easy and hard to completely destroy unless you are stripping the entire car down.
