You're doing great.. looking forward to further process. j

TBRays98

Alright guys sorry i have not posted in awhile ive just been a little busy.



I bought that bike for $400 it is a 1982 honda cm250 that only has 7k miles on it. I had to get it some tubes and tires and re jet the carb but the bike is good now so i can get back to the camaro.

Since my last post i bought leds for the interior from super bright leds. I had to send my speedometer in to get fixed. I sent it to http://www.scottspeedometer.com/

I also bought an uncovered abs headliner from amazon its nothing special i still need to get it covered.

Here's some pictures of what ive been up to.

TBRays98

The motor and tranny for my iroc are still mia. i have know idea what i want to put in yet.

For you tbi camaro guys i have a 1995 c2500 5.7 throttle body injection truck and i will be throwing those vortec heads on with the manifold adapter from jegs http://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance...FXRp7AodoR8AHQ

i know that this is a camaro forum so if any one is interested in the swap ill be posting it on fullsizechevy.com

sorry the camaro is going on hold for another two weeks but my truck is my first love

Jwood1991

Wow the carpet and console came out good did you have a ruff texture on the carpet after painting it? And did you re cover the seats?

TBRays98

The carpet was a little bit rough at first but its been sitting in a humid florida garage all summer and feels much better now

The seats are not recovered they stood the test of time though and managed to stay in mint condition. There's not one rip.

I did steam clean the carpet before painting it so im sure that preparation helped a lot.

Jwood1991

How about the plastic panels did they hold up

Richboll

The car is looking good. I'd like to see you finish it.

TBRays98

The plastics are doing great and thanks for the compliment richboll itll be finished when i can decide on what i want for a motor...

Richboll

Thought you were going to go with the $1200 one from Advance? That sounds like the easiest way to get it on the road. While it can be almost theraputic working on them, the fun is in the driving!

TBRays98

ive been hearing some bad stuff about spartan motors plus i might as well save up a little bit more and get a better motor with more power.

TBRays98

Ok so i got my speedo back today from scotts speedometer and it came out great!!



It's policed certified at 0 miles and all the moving parts were replaced they did a great job.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did this overhaul cost?

72SSboy

Sweet.. btw ... does it make sense to put the dash in first.. and cluster after? Or at the same time?

j

TBRays98

cluster is last you have to make sure the two connectors and speedo cable line up first

TBRays98

They charged 120 with shipping which at first i was skeptical about but they replaced everything and did an awesome job so i would say it was completely worth it. It might have been less but there was so much wrong with my speedo

IROCgiraffe

iTrader: (3)

That's not bad. Thanks for posting! May be worthwhile to have them overhaul the entire cluster (fix the screaming tach, etc).

TBRays98

I'd call first and get a quote they are expensive but they do an awesome job 248-338-4148

72SSboy

thx

TBRays98

i pulled the gross moldy backing off the door panels.
Does anyone have a recommendation of what to use for a new backing?

TBRays98

anyone?

TBRays98

Picked up some good parts yesterday

Got the 85 harness with both computers, maf, and random shifter stuff



Also picked up an 88 disc lsd with aluminum calipers. Along with a driveshaft.



Oh ya got it all for $300

Javier87z28

iTrader: (1)

Nice pick up!!

Jwood1991

Curious do you have to swap the master cylinder along with the proportioning valve for disc breaks? Just wondering because I did the drum to disk posi swap nd can't get break pressure, I swapped the proportioning valve already guess I missed something

TBRays98

Thanks Javier

i thought all you had to do was swap the proportioning valve too. Ill let you know how m swap comes out.

Unashamed116

Nice!! Looks like everything is coming together great. Can't wait to see the end result!!

TBRays98

ill try not to make you wait to long haha

TBRays98

Just traded for a rebuild 700r4 and brand new torque converter!! It's built for 600lbs of torque and was only used for a couple 100 miles!! Ill have pictures up tomorrow!!

((Mike))

Your doing a really nice job! It looks great! The seats look like they have been replaced at one time. Those seats look like the custom cloth seats from 88-92 camaros. I think The 85-86 seats looked like velour. Anyway I think its great that your bringing this car back to life.

TBRays98

You might be right about those seats. Thanks for the compliment btw it's great getting positive feedback!!

TBRays98

Well here's the tranny


oh yea its from an 88 4x4 k5 lol. So ill be doing a little bit of work to make her fit haha.

TBRays98
