My '88 Iroc, its been a while

I bought this car about 3 years ago for $1800. Its an 88 Iroc, 5.7, 9 bolt, t tops. I ran ok but smoked really bad. I finally rebuilt the engine and had the front end painted. Its still a work in process. Here are a few pics.

Thanks guys, I am putting in new t-top seals, eventually change out that god awful interior and have the rest painted and new stripes. It is however on the back burner for a while since I just got the 91 z28.

Yeah I really like the color too. I believe that 88 was the only year you could get an Iroc in gunmetal grey. But correct me if im wrong.

Yeah thats just paint, you really can see them once they are in the car. I kinda wish i would have just rebuilt the factory head, it was a pain to get the tpi base to match the head bolts.
