Newbie Here From Southwest Michigan Hey everybody, just wanted to introduce myself. I recently bought a lightly wrecked 2002 Z28 35th Anniversary car. It's the pewter one in my avatar.
I'm not new to cars, but new to the LS1 scene. I also have a 1978 Malibu that I've owned for 15 years. It was my driver and has now spiraled into a back half car with a BBC and a fogger. Needless to say, it is not that street friendly.
So I got the Z28 to make a decent street strip driver out of. I bought the Camaro with 90,000 miles on it. It came with all the new parts to fix it. Paid 4500 bucks for it including parts which was probably a bit too much. It has a clean title but has a bit more rust than I had first suspected. I have a new hood, bumper cover, headlight, and fender to repair the damage. Someone drove it through a chain link fence.
Plans are to fix the body on it and most likely make it a mild heads and cam car with suspension mods.
