Hey guys, I just found this forum, and thought I would post an intro here. I picked up a 89rs V6 with a T5 in december for $900, and have been making fixes and upgrades to it all the time.
Here's some pictures of how it used to look, and some of the things I did along the way.
first day I brought it home
restored a really warped up dash pad to acceptable levels
Very nice. I like how you kept it stock for the most part.
I'm removing my intake plenum tomorrow and replacing my egr valve. Hopefully I will finish this soon.
i'm mixing and matching years (the grill is from a 90-92, and the steering wheel is from an 87) So far the only non 3rd gen thing I've done to it are the seats, and at least those are camaro seats, just a later year.
I like stock, I even bought an original delco radio for it (2 in fact, the first one was a yellow letter from 92, and then I found a white letter 89)
If you want to see a car I'm restoring totally to stock, check out this link. It's the story of a 1958 impala I'm restoring with my Dad.
spent three days putting on some parts I've been polishing up. They look nice, but if I had known how much work it was going to be tearing down the engine as far as it needed to be to get to those parts, I would have stopped with just the plenum.
The second picture doesn't do it justice.. it really looks better in person
before
After
I painted them with high temp clear enamel. I think it will keep them from rusting, but we'll see
Yeah, the original wheel was bad, plus the horn button was WAY too touchy. Everytime I brushed it, it would go off.. It had my kids in stitches, but it irritated the hell out of me
