hey guys,
i just got a camaro in what i like to hope is salvagable condition. there's some rust on it and it needs paint after the rust has been dealt with. anyone out there know of a place i could get this adressed, or better yet, lives on oahu and would help me out with a place i could work on the car cus i currently live in waikiki, no room to work.


also i need tires for it!!! any help would be appeciated.

mahalo

 

what size tires are you looking for?

 

the rims on the car are original, so i think they are stock 14s.

 

Yo wassup man. Welcome to the Pacific Region board. Not too many frequent here now but we pop in once in a while.

How bad is the rust & where is it? I'm guessing rust along the a pillars, possibly roof along the drip rails, & the bottom of the doors. Am I right?

 

thanks. the rust from what ive seen so far is surface rust. most of which like you said is on the roof a nd surrounding areas. also just surface spots along the fenders and rear. sadly theres also a dent in the drivers door and rear quarter.

you guys know any places that might help me out with room to work or tools? i would be alot more productive, but i live in an appartment and dont have my old job of working at a machien shop.

thanks.

ill post pics of it later. suprisingly the only problem is the paint. the int is near perfect, and the 305 drives hard.

 

Cool. Are you in the military, have a military civilian job, or know someone in the military? The only places that I can think of that might be good for your situation are the military hobby shops. They have the facilities & tools for rent to do your car projects.

 

i go to HPU downtown Honolulu, but my dad was in the airforce so i think i get privlages until im out of college. i just need to get a current military ID when i swing home for a few weeks.

is there anyone out there with a military id that knows the junk yards around the island? i havent checked, but i loved yards in So. Cal. so i can only hope they will suffice here.

 

The only military junkyard that I really enjoyed is the Schofield one. It's pretty big (for Oahu), & they use to pull out the car for me & place it on blocks if I needed to grab stuff out of it from underneath (ex.-trans). They were always a big help for me whenever I went. And sometimes the Fort Shafter Junkyard, although small, has some good stuff....not always though.

Oh yeah, I'm not military by the way. I use to get in through my dad. He's a retired civilian worker from Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately, junkyards here aren't that great, but I hope that some of this info helps!

 

thanks for that. i'll keep it in mind once i get a valid ID.

 

Too bad yoiu didnt check on here sooner, could have sold you mine for a decent price. 91 RS with the Z28 hood and spoiler on it. 305 with a 5 speed. Anyhow if you know anyone looking for one, this one runs good just a couple tires maybe and then you can get the safety done lemme know.

 

sounds like a nice car, but i doubt i could beat the price i got on this one.

*edit* im actually looking for 15 in tires, i actually bothered to ckeck this morning.

 

I replied to your PM about tires. I work on base but last time I tried to get in the J/Y by myself they gave me a hard time. Need a Military ID, my ID does not have enough mana. So if you can get your own Military ID then you can go. The prices at the J/Y's on base are the best on the island. And you can also probably use the Hobby Shop if you got a Military ID, can pay a fee to store the car there while working on it. Sorry but I can't help anyone with paint/body, not my thing. Would come out worse than when you started. hahahaha
