this is how i first found her



2 weeks later it's mine!

first night

more pics














So honestly, I have no idea how it drives, but at $800 it was a bargain.

The previous owner threw a rod in cyl #1

So the block is probably trash.

but lucky for me, i've got a 350 shortblock sitting around. lets see how this goes

 

It looks nice i also got my rs cheap but mine had a bad tranny, what are your plans for it.

 

Well after I can getting moving under it's own power. I'm gonna work on suspension and chassis. 21 year old car. I wanna be able to turn too haha

 

Not much to say
this is what the engine looked like when today started

and when today ended

pulled the alt, a/c, rad, fan, throttle body, air filter, distributor cap and the belt not bad for like 2 hours work haha

 

looks nice! And I've never seen those rims before... I actually kinda like em!

 

Man, i need to scan some pics of what my 89 started out as, was a pile of trash, LOL.

 

Whats up with the A/C compressor, and the air box? I have never seen anything like that on a third gen...

Also whats that on the drivers side, underneath the intake elbow piece?

Nice project.

 

Damn, your right, i didnt even notice, looks newer.

 

i think it was an a/c delete car, my dad is pretty sure the compressor is aftermarket

i think the airbox is a k&n, it's got k&n stickers under the hood

i'm not sure what you're talking about under the intake

 

lol. they're actually hotwheels brand wheels (made by kmc) they came with the car.

 

Definitely an aftermarket type deal. Pretty neat as I have never seen anything like it.

The metal box-looking thing that is on the drivers side frame-rail is what I am referring to. It isn't factory either, whatever it is lol

 

also i found out that box you were asking about, is some aftermarket cruise control (so my dad says)

 

 

Very nice... I wish I was there to see the show lol.

 

Looks like it threw a couple rods.. That crank looks re-useable. lol

 

oh yeah, i bet i could reuse the rods too

just give me a welder and a grinder

 

That was a great deal. $800 & the body is in good shape. I got mine for $700. Needed a drivers door that I got for $35 & some other nic nax that I already had from my other camaro. The engine is great in still running strong.

Check out my album.

What better time to swap in a 5.3/5.7/6.0/6.2/7.0, LOL.

 

heh. i'll keep the 305 for now

maybe later on in life

 

Now thats some real eye candy.

 

Pretty nice. I always wondered what those Hotwheels wheels would look like on a third gen. I've seen them on second gens before. The wheels and tires are worth what you paid for the car, so that's a real nice deal.

 

Wow you're right about the wheels. They're pretty pricey. And I think discontinued.
Just an update, the block, new pistons, and rods are at the machine shop
getting the block bored .030 over
