Default 1991 RS Project Build

I got this Camaro for $700. It has a 305 Stock motor in it, from the looks of it it wasn't to bad. The only real problem it had was a hole in the radiator, which has been replace already. The other issues it needed was a rear brake line, that's been done. A front ground effect lip, new hood latch and spring, a pull down latch repair kit, a headliner, and new seat coverings for the cigarette burns and a slight tear in the driver seat, and a window motor for the passenger side. As far as rust goes it does need a new battery tray, but i'm in debate bout getting a new one or doing a battery relocation. Maybe someone can shed some light on what be best to do. Other things that's rusted are the rear hatch. Lucky for me that was all that's rusted, the underside and inside the door jams are rust free. So far in parts I have oem wheels to replace the bad looking ones that's on it now, a bunch of tune up parts, timing kit, water pump, fuel filter, air cleaner, spark plugs/wires, oil/filter, transmission oil/filter. As of right now just waiting to get the tires so I can get these things done. The one tire on it now is badly dry rotted and wont hold air. I'll update the pictures when the wheels are on the car which will be later on this week.

Here's another update on the build, I got all the tuning up done and fixed the over heating problem which needed a fan switch. And added on a air cleaner.

yeah its pretty clean for a 91. the rear seats have cigarette burns and it needs a new headliner and a dash pad. that's bout it for the interior.
