new to the site, hope I can be of service

just picked up my newest toy, an 89 350 iroc with T roof, 60K miles, true barn find, sat for years, needs work, but should clean up nice..

not my first camaro, second 3rd gen, 3rd overall

currently have a 98 supercharged cobra if I want to go fast, this is going to be a driver/fixer, hoping it dont need tons of work from sitting.
was a driver when parked but now rides terrible, took a while to start, brakes pull to the right, shakes going down the road...
hoping to get it up and running by summer and fix as I go.
not looking for fast, just a stockish cruiser.

As found

Sounds like tires, brake hoses and maybe calipers will be 1st on your list. Depending on how long it was sitting, you may need injs, fuel pump, sending unit and tank. Don't forget the fuel filter. If it has k&n filters, you'll probably want to clean the maf wire.
looks like a great project!

My first thought was tires and brakes, it's definitely getting all the rubber hoses replaced, it also had a bunch of grass and crap packed around the wheels from sitting in the yard and mowing around it, then he moved it into the garage so who knows what awaits once I pull the wheels
