Hi guys, I just wanted to show off my Camaro that's been in my family since my dad bought it in Germany. A little back story of my car, my dad bought it in Germany brand new. He kept up with for a long time always keeping it clean and making sure it ran good. Fast forward to 2001 we moved to Texas and lived there for a while, while in Tx my car was totaled, some schiessekopft was mad at his girl and tail whipped his 5.9 dodge Dakota into my front yard and hit my mom's truck which in turn pushed my car over in the grass. That was a horrible couple of months, it was just freshly painted orange looked real good too but the painter wanted to redo it cause of one little bubble. Well the car had gotten fixed we bought it back from the junk yard for $200 bucks, it took ten months to fix the car but never gotten painted, so when we had gotten it from the body/frame shop it was primar and faded red/orange. Well then came time for my license and what not, so the painter said he owed us a new paint job and we took him up on that two years later but he didn't paint it, it was his shop employees which they sucked! But none the less I was happy to drive my Camaro. Drove this car through high school and now im in my career and its still with me! this car has a lot of sedimental and history, my dad asked my mother to marry him in that car lol and I recently took marriage photos with my car in the pics. Also it just hit 193K miles and still running like a champ! so thanks for reading my horrible grammar and boring story lol

 

bare with me im trying to get my pics to upload!

 

Damn man, I like it! Mostly stock but obviously cared for.

I've always been a sucker for loud primary color/flat black secondary color cars. Looks ratty but in a good way. Wheels look good too. The air dam and parking lights are in damn good condition for that mileage.

Any go-fast mods?

 

thanks man, I just repainted the grill so it looks a lot better, and today my new tires come in. As for go fast parts, open element air filter, and 3 inch cat back exhaust with hooker aerochamber muffler. plans for this car is a new paint job, with gloss black hood and gloss black hawks finch spoiler, I wanna polish my wheels and have the faces painted black. Performance plans rebuilt 350 with set of awesome heads and tpi harness swap and mini ram set up but I have a 350 long block just looking for a shop to machine it and what not.
Btw waiting on a cd so I can post my pics of my car from my wedding pics.

 

so yesterday while driving I lost all brake pressure, turns out it was my wheel cylinder from my passenger side drum. so it was too easy of a job, turns out I was wrong I some how stripped the threads on my brake line. Now my brain is thinking should I (A) just replace the line since my rear end needs to be overhauled, because its now a one wheel wonder. OR (B) find a fourth gen drum rear end and have taller gears. Decisions decisions either way I will my car running by this weekend.

 

got my brake line fixed and bled now my heater core inlet hose has a pin hole leak so tomorrow thatll be repaired.

 

I enjoyed your story and keep up the good work.

 

thanks art means alot

 

Won't let me put three pics at a time

 

nice ride. not many people out there like an orange third gen.

 

 

 

 

thanks tony

 

went to the myrtle beach bash car show was really nice.Ran into some cool people who have third gens also, shared alot of great knowledge. Also made a list of parts that over time ill be buying. not much of an update besides i have to get a new neutral safety switch, mine lasted 23 years so thats another thing i would like to do is stat replacings switches and sensors, other than that car ran amazing from fort bragg to myrtle beach i was kinda worried i would have a problem which i did but it was no biggie.

 

well today did a couples things, I repainted my grill to a gloss black and tomorrow I will clear it and paint the Camaro letters. Today I also bought black carpet in near perfect condition for thirty bucks. Tomorrow I will also repaint my buckets and try realign my head lights. Also for got to mention I drilled two holes in my fenders to fix my sagging gfx so got that fixed. Next pay check ill buy either hid kit from hawks or buy the $125 for all new bushings, ill try and put pix up tomorrow.

 

any one know of any screws that are hidden in the center console, im trying to get it out so I can take this carpet out

nevermind easy fix lol had to take breather that's all, now on to the next question what size is the torx for the seat belts bolts

 

 

started with the nasty 23 year old carpet and now I replaced it with the black carpet, need to get my seats redone and then add a sub and ill be done with my interior.

 

looks really good. are you local in the area? I see you were at the beach bash. im sure you ran into Charles and Danny. They told you about the gathering in May?

 

were you the one with the holley efi system and told me bout the guy named jedi Camaro by chance on youtube? and no they didn't and also thanks

 

Nice car & good story behind it!!

 

Very cool. I like the color.

 

thanks I plan on repainting the same color combo again, some day though lol

 

painted my buckets and theres the grill I did the other day, I will be getting clear coat for the buckets and for the grill. I want to paint the letter silver and also paint the grid lines on my tail lights to hel make em pop.

 

Nice job on the interior.

 

thanks irocgiraffe, have you found any hoods yet?

 

No, haven't looked at all. Been workin on other projects on the car. Just finished working on the exhaust.

 

Great car, carpet looks perfect!

Touch up that front spoiler with a orange spray can! It'll look better from 20ft away! I touch mine up often..

 

thanks roc, im actually gonna try and find a black donor/parts car to take some nice gfx off. And this weekend ill be getting my flowtech headers, yes I know they are garbage but I got the for free as a Christmas present a few years back. Also ill be getting another Camaro a 94 383 lt1 that's been in the family since new also, theres not much left to do on that car so my RS will still be getting all my attention.

 

same here man, and yea I seen the vid sounds nice in the higher rpm range with the raspyness

 

Awwww yeah, another orange car!

 

yea man, theres a couple of em on here, just mine is the ugly ducklings for the time being lol

 

got my headers just gotta make a decision if I want to try and put them on my self or pay someone, also I got my old sub woofer box so now I just need to get an amp and a 12 inch. now I thinkin about finding a decent 350 and putting my lt1 intake along with the Ls coil packs on, I have some aluminum LT1 heads that I can trade or sale. but ill save that til tax return season. What I need to go find out is if I can use any efi system to hook up the lt1 intake with a gen 1 sbc.

 

Just put them on yourself. They aren't that hard.

Are you talking about putting TBI on a LT1? TBI isn't going to work with a LT1 intake, you'll need to swap to TPI.

 

no what I want to do Is get a gen 1 sbc, put some L98 heads with the lt1 intake, and then put the LS1 coil packs on. just a dream and if it can happen question.

 

EDIS is possible with Gen 1, but a **** ton of money.

 

this is my new Camaro Z28 385 stroker tko600, I know this isn't a fourth gen forum but I wanted to share

 

Looking good!

Nice color choice

 

Nice!

 

thanks guys, once I can find this little leak the Z has I would like to buy my bushings for the RS, sthey both run really well so im blessed with that.
yall keep up the good work also so I can get more ideas lol

 

Cool man. Should post some more pictures of it.

 

Very cool. Post some more pictures of it.

 

I think it may come out small but this is at a car show

 

Nice. Looks like it's in pretty good shape.

 

both cars my dad bought brand new.
diving the Z is soo much fun especially with the cut outs open.
I have a problem now though, I have a 2 bolt main 350 a set of 882 heads and an lt1 intake and spare alu. lt1 heads. should I build the 350 use the 882 heads have em ported and polished and use the lt1 intake with a tpi harness.?? or sell everything wait til tax time buy a donor 4th gen lt and swap everything over?

 

Well I guess that's up to you. I see alot of people doing the LS1 swaps.

 

yea but I don't want to weld new motor mounts plus lt1s are easier and cheaper to find and they're torque monsters, but everything is pretty straight forward in swaping and lt1 with harness and trans

 

Lt1 over 882's for sure
don't waste money on the 882's

 

I'm not sure what's involved in the LS1 swap. I haven't looked into it yet, but I think alot of the stuff like motor and transmission mounts you can buy from aftermarket places. I think most is bolt on stuff too.
