This is my 1996 Camaro Z28. Polo Green Metallic over tan leather. Too many bolt-ons to list (in this post, at least ). It's come a long way since the day I bought it for $1000 back in 2009.

This is Sydney QuarterHorse, my 1994 Chevy Camaro 3.4l 207ci 4 speed automatic w/ over drive. I bought this car basically bone stock, and not well taken care of at all. I am in the process of making her into an RS clone, as well as taking care of her maintenance needs and some mild upgrades all at the same time. She has every piece of the RS lip kit now except the front valence which I have yet to get my hands on. She also has a billet grill installed on the front, but this one isnt just for show, its actually fully functional while still having the fog lights hidden and working behind it too. I have also done a full dash conversion from the 1994 interior to the 1998 interior with the matching cluster out of a firebird for the red lit gauges. She has my old camaro Sheilas' salad shooter rims on now. I have also painted the RS stripes on the hood, and on the deck lid. Besides all the maintenance work which made up most of the work done so far, mainly the cooling and intake system, here are some other upgrades she has gotten. MSD 8.5mm spark plug wires, bosche plus 4 spark plugs, aluminum cold air intake, custom mandrel bent exhaust (not sharing the secret just yet until I put a video up), and a well deserved complete engine bay detailing. The best part of it all, the T-tops don't leak.

contestants feel free to post more info and pictures in this thread. still waitin on massey's info. must be busy.

 

So if I honestly wanted to show off all the work and changes to this car, it would take a few pages of pictures. I did forget however to mention that I made sure all the badges were on this car, and since its and RS replica, I even added the proper RS badges to it. Ii like to badge my car, not debadge them. Anyhow, here is a simple before and after picture of when I first bought her, up to 2 weeks ago. And I realized no picture I have really shows off the front end, like at all. But I found one and figured Id put it up for show. I would put a picture of the dash/interior swap up as well, but like I said, I rather not take a whole page up of all the work Ive done. Ill just have to hope a few outside pictures are good enough for some votes. That concludes my entry for this month.

 

Craby youre my favorite, you made my username pink!

 

Ahhhh, I miss my 82 Z28 with T-tops.

 

aww thanks,,, you got the pink line to,,, if you would get a vote already we could see.

i see the kid has the lead with all the vote wonder who that was.

 

All bad *** cars

 

So here's my ride, a 1996 Camaro Z28. I bought the car in 2009 for $1000. It was only hitting on 6 or 7, and the interior was pretty much shot. The body, however, was way cleaner than any $1000 car should be haha. Here's how it looked when I first got it:



Since that time, I've spent a lot of time (and money) fixing this thing up and doing a few mods. Here's the current list:

Pacesetter longtubes
custom true-dual exhaust with Magnaflow muffler and x-pipe
SLP cold air intake
smooth intake elbow
throttle body airfoil
de-screened and de-finned MAF
EGR, AIR, and Cat delete
Rebuilt 4L60E with C4 Corvette torque converter
UMI chrome-moly STB
Summit front lowering springs, heater hose mod rear
Founders LCAs and relocation brackets
Founders adjustable panhard
SLP Bilstein shocks
C6 Z06 replica wheels, 17x9.5 front 18x10.5 rear
Nitto NT05s, 275/40-17 front 295/35-18 rear
LS1 dual-piston front brake conversion
BrakeMotive drilled & slotted rotors
15% tinted windows
tinted tails and turn signals
shorty antenna

Here are some pics of how it is now:








I don't have any pictures of the interior, but I can assure that's in excellent condition as well :lol: If you want more details about the project, here's a link to the thread:

This has been my first project car, and it's been very challenging to this point. But it's also been a great learning experience, and I don't regret it for a second.

 

Nice work, it's paid off

 

Hey guys sorry for the delay in getting my pics up. Here is my Z28 we call Diamond
