Re: My $500 89 RS

The rims that came on it were beyond cleaning. they also had older tires and a mismatched tire, so i bought these off of an 83 Z28. great tires and the rims were like new.


Time for a new steering wheel.

Re: My $500 89 RS
I found 91 RS rims on craiglsit, said the tires only had a few hundred miles on them. me and my girlfriends little brother took a 3 hour ride saturday night to get them. the wheels are sweet, but are painted white. cant beat $100!!

i have done alot more than the pictures show. things like dash pad, got the door panel back on, it has a broken coil spring that i had to fox also. the drivers seat has been stitched and carpet cleaned. the car runs great, i did have to change the maf, and blank off the egr valve, but ait runs great for 20 years old.

i also had to tighten up the steering column, it was VERY sloppy. yesterday i got into it trying to find out why the hatch motor didnt work. it was unplugged and now it works great.

Re: My $500 89 RS
Thats a screaming deal for $500. Did the guy owe you money or was that someone you knew? Regardless, nice find!
