Hi All,
Though i might throw up some pics of my and my GS's Camaro since this is the place for it.
I have had Katarina (her name) for about 2 years. When i first got her she was the hugely ugly Butternut Yellow i refer to it as Postit Note yellow:D . No offence if you like the colour i just dont.
She arrived in fairly good shape with NO rust though the entire body. No replacement pannels at all. The only historical dings were in the back left hand corner where the panel was pushed down which is still sitting to low for my taste.
I have done alot of work to her personally with my limited knowledge mainly because im on the disability pension and dont have the money spare. Any spare i have from doing odd work here and there goes to parts.
The work i have done.
Full interior replacement with the 68 Camaro Interior Kit. Including Roof lining and carpet.
Repaired/Replaced the instruments (Speedo and Fuel) Lol
Repaired the centre console. (Broken by the alarm installer /sigh)
Replaced the chrome parts of the centre console.
Replaced the steering wheel with a nice black and chrome saas
Removed and replaced the entire wireing loom from the car bumper to bumper. That was a big job (7 Solid Days) could have been quicker but i wanted it done perfect and i had the time.
(Funny the people with the time have no money and the people with the money have no time :rolleyes: )
The exteral brightwork was all replaced bumper to bumper. I like the look of the chrome.
Replaced my wheels with mags Eagle's from the USA (Classic torque thruster style)
I installed a Full MSD RtR dizzy and blaster 2 (gen3) with an MSD AL2 sitting in the shed to move into it.
Hmm Oh i just replaced the 7" sealed headlights with Crystal Cut lamp housing and some uber bright halogen's
Replaced the tail light/break lights with Spegetti Enginnering LED ones.
The motor is a warm 350 with a t350 behind it. Diff well its buggered so i need a new one of some kind.
Removed the side markers.
I just purchased a set of 4 Carbon Fibre Guages and the autometer pod (4 slots) for the front of the centre console. I have a friend who coats plastic with wood grain so im going to get it done in the wallnut so it matches better. Did that just before the diff went (FTL)
The next steps are to get it out of the paint shop (Guy in a car park left me a nice dint and didnt leave a note). 9 weeks of saving to pay for that fix.
I got invited to run in the GP500 here on the Gold Coast on the 23rd and 24th so that should be fun if i get my diff issue fixed.
Last pic is me.
Ill post up some more pics later i suppose if people want to see.
