Just Got A New Project Car!

It is a 1988 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z. L98, A4, only paid $1000. Doesn;t start but cranks over, We're pretty sure there is no spark. Waiting for my way more mechanically inclined brother to come up from Houston to take a look at it.

Needs a lot of work, but it is going to be a nice car one of these days, pics can be seen here:

Good deal Dude! That'll help you out with that closet full of extra cash! J/K. Looks good, solid underneath I hope. The fender will be easy to replace. Find a good original. Best of luck, Project cars are my addiction also!

Re: Just Got A New Project Car!

Ahh... now you get to go junkyard trawling to look for replacement pieces, looking for a new carpet too as well from the picture and some new seats.

Sort of reminds me of me right now; looking for seats and some plastics to replace the warped ones on mine. And if by some luck a 350 tpi with computer!

Eventually you'll become mechanically inclined; I seem to have done so after getting my iroc. Have had to replace several things since I first got it along with repairing some stuff after my car accident.
