Hey everyone, needs a bit of help here.

Hey everyone. My names Nathan, im from Canada, and im new to the board. Right now Im in grade 12, about to be going to college, and right now i drive a Beretta GT. This summer though I'm gonna be gettin either a 83, or a 91 camaro. I haven't quite decided yet.

Anyways, I was just wonderin if you guys could tell me what I should be looking for when I buy one of the two. And what are some of the goodies EVERY camaro owner should buy for their car.

Anyways, thanks for ur time, ttyl.

easy... or not,lol. i have a 91 and love it. look down the body to see if its straight, if its wavy try tapping on the wavy areas to see if they are bondo. check the frame for straightness and for rust( rust means its a northern car and may need extra work). check teh oil for metal shavings, check thetrans for teh same, and make sure both have enuff fluids. check ur hoses to see if they are cracked, squeeze em to see if they are brittle. check the belt or belts to see if the are cracked. if it has t-tops check em to see if they will leak( spray em down with a healthy dose of water and they should show any leaks) see if they rattle. really checking these cars is the same as any other car.....

goodies: look at my role call so far heh... i like the custom sub enclosures around ( they are badas*) random chevy goodies can be found everywhere....
