You got me on that Phaser. Sounds like a real set of winners there, hehe. Make sure you burn them off the day before you swap 'em.

Get 245/50's or 255/50's if you're keeping the 16"s.

At least you'll be getting her painted soon!

If costs are piling up too quickly, buy the rear pair first.

Just a randomly posed question... which do you prefer,
a 305tpi w/ a 5 spd or a 350tpi with a auto?

I have a chance of getting a 92 z28, guy lives down the street from me.

*only an option if it turns out itll cost more to fix my current car then what its worth.

 

I'd prefer a 5 speed myself, but honestly I've never driven a T5 so I'm not sure. If you do buy the 92, are you gonna part this one out?

 

The T-5 is fun! But I could live with the 700R4 if that meant getting the 350 instead If you do part that car, you better let us vultures know

 

if i buy the 350, depends on what i can part out and what i cannot... depends basically on what is economically the best way... how much do you think i could make by parting it out? would it be more than maaco blasting it and selling it outright?

gonna go check out the 92 z28 tommorow, ill keep you guys updated on it, power everything a/c works.. hehe.

oh yeah, and if its g92 and fe2... im gonna have to buy it lol

 

If there is no frame damage then I'd recommend you fix it up and sell it. But if there is frame damage then it would depend.

 

What, can I say... G92.. B2L..FE2...

friggin awesome. only thing though, new o2 sensor needed, cuz check engine light is on... paint is decent...

Im a gonna get this one lol.... (since my mom remains skeptical about the safety of my "repaired" z28)

A/C blows cold, power everything... I feel so much more comfortable... yes I realize that i am pretty strange.

 

So are you parting your current z28 out?

 

depends... i have yet to take her up on a lift to look at underbody damage, but i will replace the front clip, fender, and hood nonetheless.

 

Since the car is clear title (right?) you would have no problem selling the car whole at a reduced price...

But try to be honest with the potential buyers. Let them know that the car was wrecked. (you might want to show the potential buyer the damage and let him make his own judgements... (takes the monkey off your back)

 

Swapped out the parts today, and primered the red parts black hehe... everythings all aligned! Took me a couple of hours, but its finally done!

 

Awesome! Keep it up!

 

When can the vultures like myself pick over the unneeded bones, like the hood, brackets, etc???

 

I guess the car wasnt that bad...

do you need anything else...??? let me know before Tomorrow... the shell will be gone by the afternoon...... (There really isnt much left on the shell anyway)

 

Ed- you get first dibs on the hood, and its blisters. there's not much of the brackets etc. left over as I used most of them as mounting appliances for the newer front clip. plus what wouldve been useful is pretty much mangled. What remains i guess is basically the hood, and since you were the first interested, ill give you first shot at it.

The car's pretty much fine now... aside the semi goofyness of having an rs hood and 85-89 gfx.

Rob- thanks for the parts, pretty sure i dont need anything else.

 

Keola, no problem...

as for the GFX, I have the rest of the parts if you want to make it look older... (except ythe rear bumper cover and the left rear quarter panel extension...)

 

hmm lol make it look older... now that is a though to consider. I'll let you know rob

 

Just remember that the side sections are a real PITA to remove... (the last bolt that runs through the rear 1/4 by the back seat)

But at least the car would be all the "same"

 

Yep, when I installed 91-92 gfx on my 87 I had to fabricate metal plates with studs to mount there, then remove most of the rear seat interior.

 

Keola -- I sent you a PM.

 

Keola, sent you a PM a week ago....

 

Oh crap, sorry for not getting back to you Ed, i just read it now. Check pm.
