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.
