so, a few of you that i've met might remember me mentioning how my camaro got into a little accident about a year or so ago. . . .i've made great progress since then and wanted to share how she looks then too now. . . .i regret being such an idiot and letting it happen to her in the first place but story pretty much goes . . .was driving along someone slammed their brakes and i came right into the back of them. . . .blew my airbags and messed me up pretty good in the front - i'm amazed with the time and effort i put into her to bring it back to where she was before . . . . if not better!

from where she was before to now.























after i ripped her apart. . . . .



new dash!








seats back in her



new front end (not painted little dirty but you get the point)

 

and this is how she sits as of just 5 days ago (just finished painting her)







1LE Grill inserts. . . .




i want to thank those of you on ls1tech who helped me get her back the way she is - without your kindness and the great steals and deals you gave me fully knowing that you could get so much more for the parts that helped fund my rebuild. i could have never done it without you guys!

this was well worth a 2000-3000 dollar job at a body shop - in all i've invested a total of 800-900 dollars due to the help of this board!

 

Looks great! Glad to see her resurrected!

 

Nice little time line you did here! Good work on the car.

 

who makes your rims?

 

Your car looks great but I have a question about your radio. How were you able to make a newer style work?? I want to ditch my Bose, it's starting to crap out.

 

Hey great job and nice car. BTW - You got really lucky when the pass airbag deployed it didn't destroy the windshield. When my brother wrecked my 95 T/A the windshield was toast on the pass side from the airbag and those things are not cheap.

 

Thats a 1LE front bumper right...i've been trying so hard to find one of those! where did you get it?

 

you can buy the fog light peices seperate at the dealership.

to the original poster the car looks great, did you repaint the whole car of just the front clip?

 

the wheels are ROH snipers their a inexpensive effective wheel they set the accents of the car off just right my sterio came with the car it's a bose system and it was direct plug and play harness is usually the same for radios. . .i only had the nose and hood painted and i bought the last set of 1LE inserts that they had at SDPC - they had to ship them from another wearhouse. took like two weeks but i love the way they look more than foglights! - i really took my time on this rebuild i wanted to do it effectivly but on a budget thanks for all the kind remarks!

 

SDPC!
Glad to see it back together and painted Nick, looking good!

 

nice job man! did you get new airbags?

 

The car looks good! My only question is, why did you go back to a stock look? If you were already spending money, why not get a nice hood, or even do an ls1 front conversion?

 

Know how ya feel... my interior did the same thing on my last Z28.. busted my windshield...

 

looks good

 

The passnager side airbag came out of my car, as well as the whole dash assembly, since it was laying in my garage after I did the 97+ dash conversion...think I gave the dash with airbag still intact fo rlike $150 or so I think......Anyways, Looks good Nick, gald I could help yuou out a lil bit..
