saving another one
I know it's not a rare one but it is a vert. It is by far the roughest camaro I have ever come across. Both rear quarters need replaced, entire floor pan need replaced and the driverside shock tower needs replaced. All rust not wrecked. I have a complete donor car and after I cut all my parts off I found the RPO codes and it was a 89 IROC with L98. Can was a shell with all good parts but what a waste. I will work on pics later. This makes building the Evoluzione kit a simple task in comparison.

Start car and donor car. I know the vert pics look good but trust me the car is nothing but hidden rust. The rear quarters are made of cardboard, rusted metal and puddy covered in a nice orange peel black paint.

Re: saving another one
Congratulations I think you have the only vert on here in worse shape than the one I started with. Good to see you have the the determination to fix it it rather than turn a profit by just parting it out. Looks like quite the project.
