My $800 dollar car.

Before




After

 

Nice, can you elaborate on the process to restore …

 

Well I remember when the fuel pump went out on dad. Back in 07.

 

I gotta do brakes on this biotch. I’m outta shape.

And it has like four inches of play in the steering.

 

What kind of car?

 

1991 Camaro RS, stock. 5.0, 305 with a 700r4 trans. It pulls!
I got a No start issue. This happened on my Z28 and I had to take the whole thing apart.

 

Hotwired, I soldered it, after this pic.

 

Fixed a broken sway bar link. Everything looks good it’s dry. Drank two quarts of automatic trans fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid. Gonna do The dead dinosaurs in the rear end but have to get these front brake pads on first.

 

Overland!

 

500 different seat covers to choose from. What did I end up with?
Vintage Oxgords in red/silver/gray. For a little over twenty bucks.

 

I extracted a good bit of dirt from the seats and carpet.

 

NASCAR fastcar! got the dash covered, cheap floor mats and seat covers. I have the option to mount and balance tires here. With a bubble balancer. But it just makes more sense to use the tire shop because they trash the old ones and you get new valve stems.

 

Needs IROC decal and sweet mullet.

 

Sounds like a fun project, I love turd gens. When I was a kid in the late '90s, I had an 88 Trans Am GTA with the L98 350. I miss that car, that L98 was a great street motor and a blast to drive.

Here's my current F-Body, a '00 Formula

I actually think a nicely done 3rd gen is better looking than a 4th gen. That blue Z looks fantastic.

 

Keepin mine stock, I did change the rim’s center caps from black to chrome. Black actually looks better. it’s a sleeper

 

Well she let me down and shut off. Luckily in the driveway. Got a No spark, no fuel situation though fuel pump primes and it turns over.(not vats related).
I replaced ignition system and I’m getting 1200 ohms at the distributer pick-up.
I pulled the code for a 53 before pulling fuses and resetting/troubleshooting.
Seem a 53 is a high voltage over 17 and it shut the computer down? So it’s the original alternator and the voltage regulator is inside of it. I’m hoping a quick alternator change will cure my problem without replacing the ECM.

 

This thing’s got balls!

 

Next, ignition switch and key cylinder lock mechanism. I have to drop the steering column. My other Camaro pulled this same crap on me.

 

On the path to victory. Time for some yoga boys.

I had a problem with the key in the 4r, got a new key cut no problems.
I have a problem with the Camaro, replace everything entire ignition switching system and starting circuit, bypass VATS.

 

Changing out the oil pressure switch and the fuel pump relay (pump has been replaced before and it primes).

After that it’s an ECM problem.

 

I have to take this whole GD Camaro apart.

 

Thanks dad.

 

Ignition switch: old one was crusty but not the culprit. At least my HB work now with adjustment. Oil pressure is building while cranking. I gotta pull the ECM it’s easy to get to.

 

The open relay socket is for fog-lights which were a Z28 option. This is the Rocket Ship model (RS).
