yea 6 speed with a T top. I was looking at an 87 iroc which I really wanted but the body was just too rusted out  It's hard finding a  3rd gen camaro or trans am that isn't totally wrecked around here from the winters.

Yea I have an old bike that's been sitting for 20 years that I was gunna try to rebuild before working on a car engine, I don't have a lift either atm but a buddy does.

and a 6 speed??? that's pretty awesome for 3g's, I'm up in michigan and rust is a big issue. usually only find the v6 camaros


Yeah i didn't have a lift either, I rented one from U-Rent it for like 50 bucks i think, but I really should invest in one.

only thing i can say about rebuilding car engines is if you get an older one, the rebuild kits are dirt cheap, I think you can get a whole kit for a gen1 sbc for around 250 bucks, minus machine work of course.

Check your privilege, rich western people. Your fancy expensive cars offend me because I'm stuck in a Yuropoor country with a rusty old Yuropoor car.
this is a semi-serious post, pls no bully

You're from Russia?

And yeah, this white one looks quite cool

Yea I haven't seen many 350's either, usually only the 3.8's, I was probably going to buy it either way though, just got lucky lol

was that transmission you pulled out in the grand prix automatic? Also good look on that, keep us updated, looks like ALOT of work.

Yeah, that's a turbo 350 i had rebuilt as it turns out it was about 5 miles from blowing up anyway.

that car runs and drives now, I daily it during the summer, but it still needs work. I built it more as a sleeper than a nice car. I might fix the rust on it, but it'll probably never get a decent paint job haha

quick vid of it at idle during thanks giving

I wonder how much would a 420 SEAC in good condition cost in 2016. Definitely would *want* a wedge car.

Hmm we already have this thread: http://forum.melee.org/general-off-topic/petrolheads-unite!-the-car-and-motorbike-thread!/

I'm thinking I should maybe merge this thread into it. Objections?
