So i've decided that this summer i am going to finish what i started 2 years ago by finishing the camaro!
now not like 100% done by any means, but i want to fix the little things that are wrong with it. just tighten everything up. most things are 80% done, which is usually "good enough" but I want to take people for a ride and not have them think "wow this car looks cool on the outside but is a piece of crap car from the 80's"
So to start off this week:
I've properly installed my stereo
fixed the B&M mega shifter handle that was stripped out
replaced blinker bulbs
replaced the center console lid
new wiper blades
tuned the carb
started polishing my tail lights
next on the list is:
fix heater so it is not ALWAYS ON
hinge pins
door gfx
emblems
front swaybar bushings
transmission mount bushing
hood struts
replace side windows
This is going to be a big step, wish me luck!

| Is your's always blowing hot? The heater core in the V6 car is always warm. I've found its cooler in the cab if i leave the heater off and the windows down. I might be sucking hot engine heat though since my hood is all hacked up. |
