my saved 89 L98 iroc *big pics*

when i got it the 350 was tired, the drivers side was slammed into a guard rail, the passenger side front had been hit from pulling out in front of someone. so i got me an original L98 iroc-z for 500 bucks, both front fenders for $50 each, a 91 front bumper w/gfx for free!, a hood for $65 (the hood isnt a TPI hood, so it doesnt close right because of the intake track, you can see the gap it leaves in t.he pics), two doors for $120, and i painted the car myself.

here is a picture of the car during the body work, just after the new engine install. its a Scoggin Dickey TPI crate engine part no. SD3505C. (~$2000)


heres the car a few weeks after the ~$100 self paint job. not to bad for a hundred bucks. i also had the windows tinted at a place locally for $120.





so for right around 3000 bucks, this is the end product. except for the T56 i have sitting in my garage waiting. just waiting on my lightweight flywheel to arrive. i just got my steve spohn adjustable torque arm/crossmember two days ago, excellent piece of work.

oh yeah, my drivers side wheels were damaged when the car was slid up on a curb and into a guard rail by the previous owner. and the wheels are from an 87 iroc i believe. my grandfather actually found these for me at a junkyard near his house for the 200 bucks for the whole set, so he bought them and sent them to me for christmas. hes a great guy, buys excellent christmas gifts!

i can only find one picture of the wrecked up car, its a closeup of where it was hit on the passenger side


heres a picture of the replacement 91 Z28 front bumper i got for free fifty from a friend

im gonna get the ASCD SS hood for it instead (or GT Auto if they will ever make one). unfortunately, the front spoiler was repainted, but my driveway slants up at the first and it scrapes the spoiler if i dont go extremely slow, so its already rubbed the paint off in the center. dont worry, im having the driveway redone this spring then i will repaint the spoiler again.

i dont know if your driveway is wide enough...but you could just go into the drive way at an angle instead of straight in...it works for me everytime but your driveway may be different.
