New to the 3rd Gens

But not new to the land of GM performance.

Basically, I bought the blue 91 Z28 that was on Kijiji a few months ago... with a nice rod knock (and later discovered rotted stut towers). I (we) have since swapped in a new engine (mods are in sig & sidebar) and a few other toys. A little too intimate too quickly for my liking; but whatever.

All I am looking for now is a nice front lower valance as this one is pretty beat up and worn. So if anyone has any leads...

The plan for this car is to enjoy having a ride that is a little rough around the edges again (like my Buick used to be). One that I can cut up, modify and practice body work on.

Cheers,

Michael

Re: New to the 3rd Gens

Yes! Kijiji is wicked! And I thought i was the only one who liked driving cars that were rough around the edges. I don't know, they feel more personal and interesting to drive, then again, I've never driven a show car but i like the raw feeling, go drive a Mercedes and you don't hear, feel or smell anything.

The inside of my TA always smells like gas because I'm cheap and I don't like to buy fuel at the track so I have two 25 litre gas cans in the back all the time..lol
