fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroWho knows when this photo was taken ...

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroBut there is a difference between that one and this one here, besides the angle. The car looks more weathered (hurray for Paint Shop Pro X, which managed to "photo fix" an even paint job on it, because she dosn't look that good in person) ...

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe driver's side looks alright ...

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroFront view

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroRear view

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe roll bar, or at least, the best shot I can get of it (and all the junk in the backseat, which looks terribly tacky). You can see that it extended forward, and it's since been removed.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroAnother shot of the roll bar from the opposite side.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroWhere they did a supurb job cutting the quarter trim for the bar to go through. It's this nice on both sides, lucky me.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroAnd the carpet, where the front support bars went through to the unibody. Ugh.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe front support bars of the cage were pushed right up against the dash pad, and have left a 2" dent on both sides of it (this is the driver's side). I'm hoping it reforms itself after time goes by, because I don't want to go scavaging for a dash pad. So dirty!

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe new radio, an Eclipse that I snagged for $240. I really like this brand, this is my second Eclipse head unit (my truck had an AVN in it from Eclipse) and I recommend them. Considering that the factory AM/FM didn't work at all, this was necessary. It's quite maddening to drive in silence (that is, if you can block out the squeaks, pops, rattles, clangs, bangs and clunks that this car makes).

Damage! Yay!

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe front bumper cover where it is cracked. It is unlikely that this can be repaired, this is a high stress area.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe stock spoiler is broken and in some places, missing. Good thing I got that high rise.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroI'm thinking this car has been repainted, oh, 100 times, because the paint is so thick in areas where it's cracked off. Exhibit A:

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroRust bubbling under the paint where the body side moulding is. I'm thinking when I get the car repainted, I'm going to leave these off.

fast88iroc's 1988 Chevrolet CamaroThe quarter damage that has to be bumped. You should have seen it before my boyfriend popped it out. It looked nasty.

im grateful that some people see these cars and take the time to fix and repair them.. im doing the same thing with a 86 Z only thing is that i have title problems and have to go to court for it. But if that all works out then i will be doing alot of work to it. check out my Z and the ol 85 coupe i used to have. keep up the great work. -Matt
