i finally got the camaro down off the stands today to see what it sits like...holy crap its high!. next year i'll take them out again and cut off 1 or 2 coils.. its stiff though!

also finished painting the door and fender..the door still has to be polished and waxed..so the bodywork is pretty much done now unless i can get a Z28/IROC hood and gfx somewhere.

before picyou cant really notice the big dent in the lower half of the door...or the rust bubbles around the edges in this pic...but you can see how the front fender was pretty well destroyed):



after:
sits a little high eh?






BTW it was fun movin the car around the hous with open manifolds!!!!!!! CHUG CHUG CHUG

with the camaro out of the garage the GTA can finally get back in for winter...the camaro is going to the backyard under a 2x4 framework with tarps..

 

dont look like theres an engine in it

 

it looks like mine when I put front springs in it. It turned out that the springs weren't in the grooves right. The springs have a certain place they go on the car. If there not in right, the car will sit up high like that and be extremely stiff.

 

Yep, gotta reposition the springs. See it all the time.

And DON'T WAX FRESH PAINT!! Wait at least a couple months.

 

either theres no motor in it or you put solid pieces of wood instead of springs because you can even see the struts are practiacally fully extended.

If those are srping take them out and cut them in half to get proper ride height :P

 

never wax fresh paint, and i'd check to see if those springs are in right

 

something is definately wrong with that , it would make more sense for the back to be up higher then the front, not the other way around

 

GO SPORT COUPES!!

 

wooh thats high

 

well the car is just gonna be parked till the spring so when spring comes i'll take them out and see whats up...

there is a v8 in there...

as for the paint, i didn't mean i would wax it right away!

yeah Sc's are cool

 

ready for offroading

 

At least you know you wont have any bottoming out issues if you decide to jump some ramps or something.

If the springs were installed correctly in the grooves, give the car some time to settle.

 

You might want to check that because if the spring isn't in the groove correctly and it pops out completely it could make a mess of your fender.

 

wow that is lifted! thats what my 'roc looks like with no motor in it!

That picture is with everything out of the front, and with 14" wheels

 

I second that, LONG LIVE THE SC!!!

I pray thee, oh mighty SC Gods, give thy strength to resist the temptations of GFX, amen.

Yep need to check it!

And as said above don't wax fresh paint. there are still solvents that need time to fully dry. Waxing will cause many problems until the paint is done drying

 

Dude, I would ROTFLMAO if I saw you rollin like that. Maybe get some GFX and it wont look so bad?

 

Definitely cut the springs, a good 5", that ought do it!

 

did u get the wheel gap fixed yet. It looks like they sold you a lift kit.

 

no, never got it fixed yet...i put the car away for winter very soon after those pics...i'll fix it in the 'spring'. i never drove the car like that! or i haven't driven it officially at all for that matter, shes a project coming back to life.. if all fails i got a buddy with a lowered iroc and i can get his stock springs for a good price.

 

my 87 sits very low with just a set of Eibach's, I would definately fix that!!!! Good luck on your project though, you'll have fun with it.

 

^^ nice pic dude, we can really see whats goin on

 

call me crazy. But i like it. I wouldnt mind driving around like that for a few days. Wouldnt keep it like that tho.

Imagine, roaring down the street, high as a truck, and all the sports car of a camaro. nice.

 

its not that high...just a lil bit more then normal....
