Hi all. Back from the dead lol. Been off for a while due to selling my 84 Z/28 back in 2010. Picked up this beauty lol 91 RS 305 TBI auto. 80,000. Needs TLC but got it for a steal. Plans are already in the works. Susp, wheels, Tires, and LS swap.Already picked up wheels, tires, and susp parts. 😬 I'll be posting progress as much as possible. Hope you enjoy the project.

That's a good looking car. Congratulations!

 

Thanks it's decent. Needs paint. And power. Lol

 

Your T/A is clean!!! DynoDave43

 

Goodies!!!

 

Wow, I guess so.

What brand of struts are those? I don't think I've seen blue ones before.

 

Ha. There's more today! They are Tokico blue struts HB4001

 

Update on this weeks progress. Wheels and tires mounted. Tore out old front suspension for all the "goodies". Next up clean and paint before assembly.

 

Damn nice car!

 

I don't see where this is History or Originality related. Moving to Member's Camaro forum.

 

Thanks dmccain.

 

Sorry Scott. I wasn't sure where to post. Thanks for changing it.

 

That wheel combo's awesome!

 

I love to see black cars...

 

Thanks man!!

 

Thx. It needs paint but looks good from 100 feet lol.

 

Update on the project. Fixed the usual Tachometer issue thanks to all the posts from members on here. Can't say enough about all the great tech advice and fixes on here, thanks!!! Also replaced all the bulbs behind the instrument gauges with LED bulbs. Looks great. Started cleaning the front wheel wells to prep for Herculiner coating.

 

I had an identical car 10 years ago. I miss it.

Those wheel wells actually look pretty good.

 

Thanks!! I had a few through the years. By far my favorite generation. Ya they were a little wet still. Turned grey as soon as it dried lol.

 

Update to the 91 RS project....

Wheel wells are coated, correct hatch with brake light installed, hatch trim painted, climate selector fixed, balljoints and steering brace on order. Finally get to put the front end back together!!! Can't wait to get it on the ground again!!

 

Front suspension is in!!! Just need a loaded chassis for the sway and wonder bars. Plus a treat. Got these great looking adjustable rear control arms and panhard bar from Performance and Restoration. Pretty solid with poly bushings and Heim joints, and at under $200 shipped they are a steal. They even powdercoated them to match the front A-arms! Next up is front brake kit, rear shocks and rear sway bar bushings and hopefully I can come across a disc brake posi rear cause the one in there is UGLY!!! Closer and closer to sitting on the ground.

Sorry for the sideways pics. For some reason I can't get them rotated correctly.

 

nice.

 

Thanks!!! gsmarcano.

 

Damn your car is sweet. Gitter on the road!!!

 

Very clean car. Best of luck to you!

 

Thanks Jacobaxeman!!!

 

Thanks jwrebholz!!!

 

So far so good!! Not bad at all for 8 bills!

 

Just picked this up!! Sweet deal!! Out of a 2000 SS posi and PBR calipers. $180 Ahhh 4 wheel discs.... 😬

Can someone tell me how to post pics that aren't upside down??? The last few I am not able to correct... 😒

 

Hi guys. It’s been a while but been busy. Front brake upgrade, cleaning up interior, and a new lift. Things are looking up

Next up is rebuilding a rear disc setup for it and replacing the fuel pump. Hopefully it can be on the road this month!!

 

We are on the ground!!! Still driving it around to settle the suspension. Replaced fuel pump and filter. Found the dreaded “pump change upgrade 😕, but will put a nice access door to clean it up. Brembos stop nice. 😬 Next up rebuild a rear with posi and disc brakes just need new gears. 3.73 should wake up the 🌲 o 5 a bit. 😂

 

Did you just bolt the wheels on or are you using adapters? I know the stud spacing is a little off with those xxr wheels. Looks good though.

 

1-1/4" adapters for the front. No adapters for the rear. Ya a little but I'm not too concerned. Not rallying it at the moment but you never know. Thanks!!!

 

What size and backspacing / offset did you get?

 

18x9.5 35mm with 1-1/4” adapters 265/35/18 front and 18x10.5 20mm rear 285/35/18 rear.

 

 

Thanks Bill!! I’m not a fan of that or any ratchet shifter. It was too clunky for me. I like to keep the interior mostly stock. I won’t be drag racing it so the stock stick works for me.
