im trying to bring my camaro back even better then it was when it was new
ill try to update what i do to it everyday, thanks for any advice

 

heres the rear plastic panels in my trunk that i got sick of looking at because of all the scratches and stuff, plus they were faded tan and black so they were quite ugly, so i restored them to a nice shiny black

and the new GM shifter **** i just got in

 

this is the side panel in the rear that goes over the spare tire in the trunk

 

my hood stripe or whatever it is was chiped and what not so i sanded it down and repainted it also

 

Take is slowly and you'll get there.....keep up the good work

 

It's looking real good man, I'm doing the samething to my 92 RS, and I'm doing my interior first. Eh, and a motor swap, but I'm doing it slow as well. I do a little everynight when I get home, and I'm at the point where the interior doesn't smell like a standing puddle of water, my wife even goes for rides in it now lol.

 

yea mine smelled all dewy when i first got it too but i fixed that,(silicone)ha
now im redoing all the interior, yea i do stuff almost everyday. yea i am gonna take it slow because if i dont nothin will come out right just make sure to check cause ill be posting pictures of almost everything

 

I'm gonna start post pics too I think.

 

? on your own thread or on this one?

 

I was gonna do it on my own..... but hell if you don't care then I'll do it on here and we can compare our work lol.

 

if you want ha

 

sorry i havent posted in a while, i probily shouldnt have put frequent updates lol, but dont fret im still working on the car, heres what i ordered and are coming in soon=new weatherstripping, new front seats, new carpet, new pedals. ill post pictures of all of them installed when i get them

More:

 

Very nice 84, here's a picture of mine...Just a few more things to iron out.

 

Not real clear, but it shows some of the interior. I've stripped by Camaro down six ways from Sunday so if you need anything let me know.

 

it coming along nicely keepup the good work

 

ill take some more of just the car over all tommrow

 

here

 

one more

 

looking good

 

Holy crap, that's an awesome Z! Was the door molding for that car taped on or did you paint over the rivet holes? I usually don't like the gray gfx on the early Zs but those look sweet. Hopefully my car will look that good when I get around to restoring it.

 

oh you dont like mine you just like kevins84z28's

 

The molding must have been adhesive because I didn't smooth any holes over. The GFX is actually Mercedes Benz silver.

 

We all like yours. I like to keep up with 84 owners to trade notes and the only sure way is to post in each others threads. When I was putting mine together I downloaded a million pictures of other 84 owners so I could get everything right. I was thinking that you could do the same through my car. Another good way is to look on Ebay for 84 Z28's and download pictures. Your car is coming together very nice.

One suggestion I will make is when you paint your interior use "Trim Black." It's a satin black paint that makes your plastic look new. If it's not shiney enough then you can spray clear on them. Both come in rattle cans for about $4.00 each at any auto parts that sell paint. I use it on everything, door sills, console, dash pad, glove box, everything that is black and can come off gets painted with "Trim Black".

 

yea thanks for the help, i think im gonna look into the paint die for the interior but that sounds like a good idea too, the only thing i dont like on our 84s is the front chin spoiler i like the round one that doesnt have the holes if the middle... what do you think

 

I like the 82-84's. I think the 85's and up are bulky.

 

i want my front of my car too look like this one.... i think this chin spoiler makes it look more agressive

 

i replaced the sway bar ends today

 

Did you have the sway bar off? If you did, then thats when you need to repaint it. How's it handle now? better?

 

no i just took the wheels off and replaced them the sway bar was still in. oh and it handles like a dream now

 

ok guys since i know for sure now after that lady rear ended me that its not totaled, im gonna continue new pictures tommrow

 

ok i get my car back from the bodyshop today... ill post pics of repairs sometime this week

 

i had ordered those 3 a racing seats and they were on back order forever so i said screw it... and cancled them again....now im just gonna get a hood because of the rust going all the way through mine. anyone have any suggestions for a sexy looking hood for our cars??and where to get it?

 

cant go wrong with the good ole ss style hood https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...iroc-front.jpg

 

Yea actually i was thinking about getting the ss hood, it looks like the best looking one for our cars. But there kinda expensive i was wondering if anyone would be selling them on here...

 

go to the classified's. Post a request for one.
