Hello all , got this car as a trade for an old work van i had . Car needs work to be road worthy i was told
so i yanked her in the garage after 6 months of sitting outside to see what it was gonna take.

 

cleaned the leaves and lizards out gonna need a belt, battery, plugs so far.

 

and so it begins,got a new battery in her but just clicks rapidly , ground mabey?

 

Check the positive battery cable and make sure all you connections are tight.

 

Nice project. Have you made sure the engine isn’t locked up? Bad starter possible too.

 

come to find out it needed another ground added from block to chassis. And after some work i got it fired up and it moved out under its own power! all fluids , plugs vac lines were changed and some fresh fuel.

 

big relief getting it to run

 

motor is a new gm goodwrench long block 4bolt main 350 needs some beautification though gonna pretty it up once if get it on the road

 

Glad you got it running.Looking forward to updates.

 

nice! great looking car!

 

Following!

Cool IROC!

 

This dang mess Smh

 

Anyone know the purpose of this cable on the left? It was disconnected and I can’t find it in the service manual

 

The one on the left is an aftermarket shifter cable. It probably had another shifter in it at some point and was switched back to stock setup and they didn't remove the cable.

 

So...neither of the power windows work and I determined it was the motors , that being said I took the door panel off and of course it was all water damaged and rotted in the front bottom corner . I made a patch outta son Xmas boxes and got some new push pins and she’s good to go

 

I did however have some help from petunia

 

goofy lookin dog

 

Hit the junkyard and was able to put together a decent center console and some new switches from eBay

 

Looks great!! I like the 88-90 Iroc wheels the best.

Your help has made a real pig of themselves though

 

ya she’s a real tool hog too

 

lol!!

 

The extra cable on the shifter goes to the ignition switch on the column and is the locking mechanism that keeps you from taking out the key without putting it in park.

GD

 

thank you sir

 

I have one of these sum bitches to lol
