My 1992 z28

Hi, I don't post on here too often (mostly because I feel that what I have isn't worth showing off compared to most of the cars on here) but I figured id share the progress on my z28. I purchased it 11/04/2013 for $1700 with about 160,xxx miles on it. The interior was a little rough.. well ok its pretty bad. the paint was starting to go, the t tops were ugly, it wouldn't idle right, it had a slipping automatic trans, its a 305 and it had 2.73 rear end gears BUT IT WAS A Z28. I wanted it as soon as I saw it. These are the pictures they sent me when I asked for someName:  XJSBK6PUJ7_zps41f107de.jpg

Then I fixed the idle, got some new t tops, and cleaned it up a bit

Then I swapped in the 9 bolt with the 3.45 gear ratio and disk brakes and did the fuel pump while I was in there.

Who could blame you? It's a great looking car. I love the mechanical changes you've made.
