I'm Baaaaaack!

Got rid of my 89 RS back in 2010 and been without a 3rd Gen since, then the girlfriend talked me into getting another Camaro. She even helped me pay for it! Ended up getting a 89 Camaro Z28, not sure if its a IROC or not but ill find out soon. Just got it yesterday, its got the 305 HO V8 with posi rear end and T-tops. Gonna be my winter project so I can cruise in it in the spring/summer. Its the same Blue as my last Camaro so im excited to get it fixed up, it just needs a driver door, some interior panels and some suspension work done to her.

Congrats on getting another Camaro. I just got back into one after my last one was stolen. And the girlfriend definitely sounds like a keeper.

Re: I'm Baaaaaack!

CamaroDave congrats for getting another.. I have told my wife many times not to make me choose between her and the car.. She would have to go.. I think she now knows that I am serious.

I see the signs of someone jacking on the pinch seam. Easy fix. Congrats!

Re: I'm Baaaaaack!

The driver door was all rusted out on top and bottom, and the door pin was so rusted and loose I cant believe it didnt fall off. Then the door striker assembly was beat up and bent, so you had to manually set the door lock on the side before you could close the door. I got another door to replace it already and it works so much better lol.
