Welcome to my page

this is my 91 camaro, which I have NEVER driven. I bought it under the assumption I was going to transfer the ground effects onto my 1987 Z28

here are a few picture, I had to put up the headlight one so it doesn't look like a total piece of crap!

above is the most recent pic of the car(nov 24, 05)
I will try to get it outside for a better picture

I started off having MY 87 Z-28. I fell in love with the 3rd gen camaro from then. since I was younger I always liked the camaro style. however until I purchased and drove one later on, I didn't envy them enough.

I bought this car roughly in the spring of 2003, so around march. It has a 3.1 litre V6 and an automatic overdrive tranmission. I bought the car with a sony deck, small rockford amplifier, and 3 10" MTX blue thunder subwoofers, for only $1550 canadian. However the motor is no good, first because its a V6, and that it shuts off after about 15 minutes of driving. I was only told that, but had plans for a SBC anyways.

In the pages ahead, you will see as I turn this car into exactly what I want. there is no holding back, well a little. but eventually no holding back. I hope you visit regularly. rate my car fairly and leave comments and suggestions on my guestbook. email me for questions which you might have for me and I'll be happy to answer as I check my (sir_ruckus@hotmail.com)email everyday. I hope you can learn something from these, as many of the things i've done I've learned or got the idea's from other camaro's. on cardomain.

cheers!
