New to 3rd gens!

Just joined the site today after looking around for a few weeks. I have a 92 Purple RS. It's a 305 with 124,000 miles/automatic trans. It needs a little TLC (IE some door bushing and a paint job). But I only have about 800 bucks in it.

Here's a pic, let me know what you guys think

The color is Hawaiian Orchid. The GM color code is 9802. My 92 RS is the same color and gets all kinds of compliments, nobody seems to believe it's the stock color...

Re: New to 3rd gens!

Once again thanks guys,

I would like to get a few things before I get it painted, Like a hood (prolly a 3inch cowl) and the rear wing like the one above on 19camaro85's. And it deperately needed some door bushings.

Any suggestions on were to pick up door bushing reasonable?

If its a running car for $800 you are already ahead of the game.

For the record ALL thirdgens need TLC lol maybe not all but most need some paint and 95% need door bushings.
