FIX UP OR SELL?

I have a 89 RS Camaro with a 305TBI. I plan on getting a new paint job throwing on a pair of rims and put in a 350. I also want to get new interior. Would it be worth it to do all this to an RS. Or should I try and find a IROC-z with good interior and a 350 and some good paint. What I am getting at is??? Would I be wasting my time and money to do this to my RS? Would it be cheaper to sell my RS pick up a Z28 and fix ukp that one? Let me know what you think. I am very undecisive. I need help.

you can sell your car at a loss, probably losing like 500 bucks at least and then have to cough up another few grand for an IROC or Z28, or you can put in the motor for about 1500 and then start on the suspension and do it how you want to do it..

put it this way, if you do up an IROC or Z28 you'll end up changing all the suspension stuff you woulda changed in the first place anyway..

just a thought..

if you like your car stick with that. The RS a good Camaro and can be the same as a Z so if you like wat you got than just mod the hell out of it!

I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT

1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package with 64cc aluminum heads, dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, ASCD SS hood, 16" IROC rims.

future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames, Hurst shifter, dakota digital gauge package, procharger supercharger.

Just think about how much soneone would be surprised about getting beat by an RS when they think they should have won.

I already beat the 305 Iroc's and Z28's I have a 305 TBI with a chip, flowmaster, rebuilt motor. And I always beat the 305TPI's.
