91RS Project

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.

Roger

Re: 91RS Project

Wow, I guess so.

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

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

Re: 91RS Project

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.

Re: 91RS Project

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.

Re: 91RS Project

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!!

Re: 91RS Project

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. 😂

Re: 91RS Project

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.

Re: 91RS Project

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.
