my never ending project.....iroc-z

Well here is my litle projet, almost a year ago i picked up this p.o.s. camaro at the junker for 120$cdn.
She looked like this when they deliver it to my home


After a really long clean up she looked like this


so winter pass and having no place in my garage she sleep outside in the cold

yeah shes there somewhere

Money was a big issue, so I didnt touch her till may......but now TIME was an issue.


In july I finaly decide to drop a nice 350 and almost blown transmission......She need a safety inspection to be driven on the road.
Here are the last pis of her......her value is a little more then 120$cdn now



And the 86 cutlass you see is the donor car for my fresh 350sbc its not an olds

feel free to put your comments
Thanks
Seb

...? $120 ($100.50) for a car that needs a drivetrain transplant and maybe a paintjob? Are you insane? That looks like about as bad if not better that what my car was in when i got it.. for $1500..

Damn good buy man... Shine her up and get her running pretty!
