My 1981 project
Here is a gallery
http://homepage.mac.com/tpbruce/Proj...Z28/index.html
The backstory:
My mom had a 79 sport coupe, and i thought that was really cool.
she got remarried, and we needed something to bring me and my step dad together, so i said "it would be a really cool bonding project if we could work on our own camaro"
that summer, i spent days searching through ebay, and to my amazement, they bought one!!!
it was a blue/blue 1981 z-28, we got it for $4000
