Hey everyone, I wanted to post a few pictures of my first ever IrocZ, it's a 1985.

I first bought the car from an owner here on TGO actually! It needed quite a bit of work on the body seeing as how both fenders were dented and the rear driver's quarter panel was ruffled. Last winter I got to work on installing the new fenders and after that I had it painted stock colors. The tired 305 is still in there with 125,000 miles. But I'm looking to build a new 350 for the car by next winter in order to drop it in next summer. So, even tho I've still got to add marker lights and badging, how do you think she looks for a stock '85 iroc?

 

Looks good to me! Just get the IROC stripes and rocker emblems and you'll be set. How's the interior look?

 

Looks brand new! Did you paint it yourself?

Make sure to get some a high quality decal kit. I think phoenix graphics might make one, they have some really nice ones for the birds. Just please, no ebay knock-offs with the way-too-big size or wrong font.

Your car is begging to be lowered. It is a must! That, and maybe smoke the tails! Good luck!

 

Thanks! Believe it or not, the local maaco by me has slow turnaround so they spent some time on my car for a great price. I was skeptical at first but have heard good things about this particular maaco. They painted it for me and I was extremely pleased.

YES I totally agree about lowering the car, all my pictures expose the wheel gap pretty badly!

 

That looks great. Put some tire dressing on it and it would really pop. About Maaco, it's not the paint job that gets people worried, it's the prep work. Most high volume shops git it done quick, hence the term "High Volume." thats how they make money. You'll know if you like them in a year, thats when stuff starts to peel away on the corners, or bubble up. Hopefully you're right and they did take their time to do it right. But then, I've had a $5000 paint job that I took back after 1 1/2 years for some work. I really like your car, good luck with it.

 

Looks good!!

 

looks great, I am starting to like the no bumper guard.......

 

thanks everyone, I appreciate it! I might get some pics of the interior up eventually too.

 

One thing for sure - YOU'LL NEVER FORGET YOUR FIRST!

Beautiful ride - congratulations. I look forward to more pics.

 

looks great man!! Keep up the good work.

 

Looks great man! I say leave off the decals IMO though, looks clean w/o them. Nice work.

 

GO SOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice car dude. Lower it, tint it, and hit the tire with wet look and call it a day. I agree with badbowtie no decals!! Very nice job on the car!!

HOLY COW! That car did a total 180* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cant believe that is the same car

 

Awesome car! Take care of it!

 

i like that red on that looks realy great.

 

looks great! one thing i would suggest though is to get a few cans of undercoating and spray the wheel wells.. most people over look it, but i think some fresh black undercoating brings it all together.

 

Looks good... I wouldnt put the stripes back on... IMO. Take care of it and keep it lookin good.

 

Definitely put the silver/black stripes around the bottom and the decals on the doors ( like this, http://www.kwfbody.com/images/IROCZ%2010.jpg) . Once you do that she'll look showroom new.

(I used to have an '89 IROC the same color)
