Camaro #2, First z28
Camaro #2, First z28 Hey everyone, I am not new to the Camaro scene, having just sold my first car. I moved on up from a 1995 Camaro with the almighty 3.4... Went out and picked up my 1998 z28 for $250 more than I sold mine for 
. NBM with gray leather, t tops, and M6 with a B&M Ripper short throw.
Plans for the car are mostly cosmetic. Bought it with some body damage,no power steering, and am really just planning to fix that, find an SS or Sunoco hood, and an SS spoiler. Maybe wheels later on, but my c5 wheels look good for now. The car came with an SLP lip and MAF, but the lid base is for a Trans Am I believe, thus leaving dents on the hood from being closed on the corners of the lid. The body damage involves the rear bumper, taillights, and finish panel needing replaced, as well as a bad dent, and someone keyed it
First quote tomorrow...
About me, I'm 16 and I'm a senior. I'm onto my second car, appropriate it's also my second Camaro. I bought my car ON MY OWN. I'm paying for everything alone, so I hate hearing, "You're parents have a nice Camaro." My dad has a polo green z28, 96 A4... We down our own work for the most part.
I'm looking forward to my project, and the help and advice I will receive here. No pictures until she's fixed. lol

Congrats I can definitely respect that you bought it yourself gives you way more pride in it that way. Quite a difference from that 3.4 to 5.7 isn't it? lol Post some pics anyway I'd love to see it!

Verdad Gallardo Sorry for the wait, these pics will have to do till a photoshoot. I usually don't like posting front yard pics but here they are. After a month of piddling around, she's heading in the right direction. Also note the new drilled and slotted rotors installed yesterday:

Very clean car both of them, and I love those SS hoods on your dads LT1 always caught my eye. Put a cat-back and some headers on there after you finish your cosmetic mods so people can hear you before they see you.
Nice car dude, all three look clean. I know how you feel with the "Be careful in your dads car" comment, this was my old car, sold it a few weeks ago right before I turned 17. Restored the whole thing myself. Keep it up.

I noticed the clear corners, Noticed the chrome camaro inserts (rear). Are they the vinly stickers or the chrome metal ones. I'm looking to get a set of those. Good luck with car. They all look good. I used to have a 94 v6 for five years then got a 96 lt1 had for 3 years. Now got a 98z. Big difference from v6 to Ls1. Have fun. John
