A 1984 Z28 H.O 305 I bought in August of 2005 as a project car, I had an 1989 Iroc-Z in College. So when I saw this car on Ebay I thought to myself the price is right and I loved the 89 Iroc I had in college. So here is what I've been doing to this car since I have gotten my little fingers on it. Labor Of Love
This is what the car looked like when I got it, Someone tried their hands at body work "Poor Ass Job" To the right is a what I've done so Far, I landed up repainting, cause the finish would'nt shine up
I found some more shots of the car when I bought it, I must say after looking at these pics what did I see in Her?
These pics here I'm trying to show the damage to the passenger rear side quarter this was a big pain, I landed up paying a body guy to fix it. Notice the rear end I upgrade the light to the grid style. found at a local yard for $60.00
First thing I did was get all new body parts, Front and rear bumpers. Then I huntted on ebay for the update ground effects. Cause I hated the 82-84 style" The rear passenger side had a dent in it so I tackeled this first. I wanted the body straight before I even thought about paint
Here she sit's getting ready for body work, I masked the windows cause I did'nt want to scratch the glass. I took all the Ground effects off along with the mirrors, so I can get her looking as good as I can when time to paint.
Just more pics of the Ground Effects, as you can see I bought most of GFX off of ebay. This was me trying the Y2K primer stuff I read so much about, I gotta say I love this stuff
This is the car getting masked off, preparing for paint. This car had no rust so very little bondo was used "Thats a good thing"!
I had a hell of a time getting this front end to fit right and finish right for paint it had little swirls that I just couldnt sand out.
Wanted to show you guys a few shot of the the panels. This is the best we could get it. I'm not that happy with it. So if any of you experts can give me some points I would gladly accept it.
Few more shot's of body work in progress getting these to line-up was a learning experince for sure!
This was my first attempt of paint, It looked okay but I wasnt happy. Another angle shot of the first attempt of paint
The ground effects came out pretty good after the cut and polish. A good angle of the car, this was the first attempt at paint which didnt turn out that well, it look dull and faded. belive it or not I spent hours on wet sanding it and this was the best it looked.
##### This Section Here is our second try at painting ########
This is 18 hours after the second spray of paint, which I think turned out much better than the first. This is before I started to cut and polish the car. Here is a side shot of the car
The rear view of the car and a really nice shot of the hood. I can't wait to start the polish work on this.
Few more shots of Her before we start wet sanding and polishing.
A few more angle shots
This is me and a buddy wet sanding, we got the front half the car done on Saturday. Hopefully by Sunday its done.
Finally I got her home "02/05/2006" It took 18 hours of wet sanding cutting, polishing and a finally polish.
I waxed and cleaned here up somemore, I still have the compound in cracks and stuff. Get to it when I can
Finally I got Her put back together after I got her back from paint and here are a few pics.
I got the grill, headlights, lamps, and hood louvers in. Look so nice now.
Few more pic for all of you to check out. Im working on my Interior now so check out the next page.
Look!! I got some new rims and tires for Her finally. I picked up the rims for 200.00 at a tire shop that took these on trade. What a steal.
I added tint to the windows, I thought this would set the car off. Also added the smoke blackouts to the rear lights. I've always liked the smoke outs on these cars.
