Hi, I am new to the forum. I recently brought a 1995 Camaro. I named her Camie haha. Yea I know it isn't original but I like it. I was looking around for a daily driver since I didn't have a car at the time. And I was gonna get a VW Golf. I am sooooo glad I got a camaro. Soon as I found out about the car I started researching online and came across this forum. And thanks to your guys posts and information and love for camaros and kickass project cars I decided that I wanted a carmaro. I brought her for $1500. She has 128k on her and no major problems I can see. The driver side window doesn't go down but I already order the new window motor lol I been driving around with it for about 4 weeks. And all I see is a small oil leak. I plan on doing lots of mods but I currently live in an apartment and have a limited budget and it is my DD. I just got in white gauges w/ blue EL(http://tinyurl.com/ycko4a2) I plan on put in some HIDs from eurolamps (http://tinyurl.com/yk7c7k6) and a CAI for starters but after reading this forum it make me remember there is always more I can do. And I am excited to get started.

P.S if anyone knows a good experience mechanic in the Lancaster, PA area let me know.

 

hay nice car. great price. good to have ya here and welcome to the forum.

 

Congrats! Stock up on bandaids before you start!

 

welcome.. the car looks nice. i'd say you made the right choice picking a camaro over a vw, but then again i'm biased .

 

Awesome, another Pennsylvanian! I generally use my bf as my mechanic, he lives in Gettysburg. I try to stay away from shops as much as possible, saves me money, haha.

 

I live in Media right outside Philly

And you can also get a good exhaust, personally i got a 3.5" magnaflow and its the closest i've ever heard to a V8. Also, would you mind taking some pictures of what those new white and blue dash things you got? i've always been interested in those but i was never sure how it would really look.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome

 

Dave's Automotive in Manheim PA. He is the real deal, turning wrenchs flat rate by day and building hot rods at night. I used him several times on jobs that where knuckle busting pains and he never tried to rip me off. Aways charged me the quoted price withing a few bucks and called me when he found issues. No suprises.

There was another in Centerville "BJ's automotive" I think was the name. It was on the Corner of Donnerville rd and Columbia Ave. I can not find anything on the net for them so they may be out of business.

These small shops are a good way to go. Its worth to take your car there enough so they think of you as repeat customer (twice a year). They treat their repeat customs well.

 

Thanks guys for all the info and I will post pics of the gauges soon as I can get around to putting them in. I got my 1st experience driving a RWD car in the snow lol it was fun slipping and sliding but I got the hang of it now.
