Wassup everybody.. Was looking around and saw this website so I signed up. Thought I'd come in here and say wassup to everyone, I live in the east bay and have a 1989 Iroc-Z with some edelbrock headers, havn't added anything else really. I'm not much of a car expert, I know the basics to get by tho. Any suggestions you guys got would be helpful, also any good body shops you guys know of. Well thanks in advance.

Re: New to the boards
At first I thought you were correcting my usage of oddly scrambled letters to form a pronounciation. but then realized I didn't use any of those words.

so basically, whatever.

Re: New to the boards
That's what I did, no better way to find a body shop that is up to par than to go see it firsthand.

Can't have everything done for you on the interweb.

Yes TraviZ I was correcting the new kid, I know you already don't speak english so I cut you some slack

Re: New to the boards
Yea it's a 350 with about 90,000 miles on it.. Here's some pics:





And I asked about body shops to see if someone in my area knew of any good ones.. If someone on here recommends one then I'd go check it out. I salute you tho grammar ****!

Re: New to the boards
im in san leandro.. and the black camaro behind is my old iroc that is now uhh.. wrecked. here's what it looked like:




Was a 89 350 also.. hardtop tho.. the red one is faster tho and way less miles.. black one had like 170k miles on it.. and about the wheels I'm savin up for some 18" chrome iroc's.. I personally don't think any other type of rims look right on these cars.

Sure you can, but if no one can understand it do not expect a response Kidd.

Glad to see my Metro LSi motor swap still has you shaking in your boots

Espiohti, I really like the Black one too, I'm biased to Black IROC's. Mileage is nothing it would have done 300K with ease.

Care to share how it was taken out of comission?

That's enough for those who are hijacking Espiohti's thread.

Re: New to the boards
Welcome from the Central Coast of CA. I'm partial to the look of the '87 chrome plated look as well. I got my 16" wheels from a wrecked '87 IROC, had them polished and chrome plated. When my IROC becomes a toy and I get my 400 whp (pipe dreams), I may need a wider tire to hook up. Welcome again, and clean red IROC!

Lets just say I was young and foolish.. haha.. You can't see in the pics but the side has a little dent/scratches, and the front bumper is more scratched up.. also the paint is peeling.. I'm actually not sure whether I just wanna save up money and get it a whole new custom paint job.. or keep it red

I hear that one, learned that the hard way once also.

I think your car photos awesome at least, can barely see the scratch on the GFX, and contrary to popular belief, I like a Red IROC (done right).
