Few day old noob finally getting to the board that was made for his car
Whats up guys! Welcome a 91 RS Vert, in need of some love? Shes in pretty bad shape right now, her orginal thread is (https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=273626)
Anyway, to make it easier, I'm gonna stick the pics right here

 

 

 

Holy rust Batman.

Oh and welcome.

 

WOW! You got a row to hoe with that bad boy. Salt damage for sure.

Welcome ot the funny farm. We'll be here to offer moral support for when you are pulling your hair out during one the many projects you dive into with this one.

Cheers!

 

I can see the damage is SOMEwhat comparableto mine being mine has seen about 4+ winters now in action, but nothing so lowdown as that. Good luck on eBay!
I can see, if you have a paint scheme in mind, it could look fantastic, but ditch the factory rims, just my thought. And possible a tuned port if not a regular V8 that turns heads; TPI Paxton SC sold a bit ago below>

 

Wow, Looks like It will be a fun project. will be one more saved vert when You get it done.

Bill,

What did you get outa that paxton setup? I sold my old Sn2000 to a guddy for $500. Just wanted to get rid of it.

This was a 406sb
Sold the SuperRam also.

Good thing they don't use salt on the roads out here...

FWIW, I've seen worse restored to their former glory, but it's definitely a process.

Just be patient, my son...

 

how is that so rusted? if just a 1991 wow but it looks like it will be col when restored.

 

Well it sure wasn't stored in a garage for the winter. Get a tetanus shot and have fun repairing that project.

Lon

 

Man,

That car does need some TLC! BUT, I can definitly see the potential. Are you going to repaint in the same Yellow? That car is going to look great when you get it done.

Like most everyone else here I am happy to see another of these cars saved.

Welcome to the TGO Vert section (INSANE ASYLUM)!

Speedy

 

get everything thats good from it and find another one and scrap that one .

 

WERD

i agree.. Take all the good stuff out and then fine another convertible thats in better condition.. That car looks like its been threw HELL... Plus that awful wing in the back.. GoodLuck, and keep us updated

 

Intresting..did all 3rd gen maros get the rectangle door hanle bezel?

 

RE: the PAxton SC
I was only watching one just listed on eBay and don't have one myself, it sold for about $1300, so with all the parts, you can expect more interest I'd say.
As far as a rust frame restore, I'd be quite worried as well and say keep looking in junkyards, may find a better one there! Considering the state of a well looking car used on the cable restor shows that was torn down and sandblasted...they found problems with that car too, and you wouldn't have expected it from it's clean appearence. If you plan to just drive it often, don't be overly concern but also keep looking.
I think the year is also strange for so much wear and tear. I had mine at 44K and $8,600 price tag! It spent only one winter not on the road while I have had it, yet I've washed it down as often as I can too...not sure how that didn't help me more
BILL

 

Yea, it does have a lot of rust doesn't it? We'll see, I know at the end of this I will have a Third gen Camaro Convert in perfect condition, at least when I'm done! Good news though, in regards to me getting a job, been a long process trying to find something that I have a lot of experience with that I can get paid for, but finally it has come! Going to be interviewed next week to be a PC Networking Expert (Trainee) at a local casino (Caesars) in Atlantic City, that should be fun!

 

SonWolve,

GOOD LUCK with the interview! I hope you get the job!

Speedy

 

Thanks Speedy, I really hope so since I could fall under being a slight computer geek ahah But, still there are lots of possibilities if I get the job!

 

know i remember why i dont miss ohio winters THE RUST and SALT

 

I would so buy that car from you right now! Welcome to the club bro! Looks like all you really need is floor pans. and a little paint and seats and a dashpad and a new trunklid and a couple of weeks off to finish it up!

 

WOW. i guess those of us in california could never get used to something like that. i have a 90 camaro rs convertible for sale (no rust), needs work, a whole lot less than that one, and i can email pics if you are interested.
90 RS 305 auto, motor supposedly runs, trans is out of car, solid body and pretty decent interior. email for pics. asking 2200.00

 

Welcome to the board. My gf lives in Pittsgrove, she has a friend in Galloway.

Wuts with the Z28 emblems ?

 

Umm...wow! WTF happened to that poor car? It looks like it was underwater for couple years. I dunno man, I would just dump that and get another car to work on. There are plenty of clean verts out there for real cheap. You are going to really have your hands full my friend. From my view point, its not even worth to work on her :-(
Check out this 90 vert for 2k!
Atleast you can start with a nice California base car with no rust damage.
