Hello!
My first post here, howdy! Although I've owned several Camaros and Firebirds, and LOTS of other GM cars and trucks over the years, this is my first 4th gen F-body. I'm picking up a 1994 Camaro, non-T-tops, with a 3.4 and a 5 speed. I'm going to autocross it - I'm sure it's not the perfect platform for it, but I just can't get my heart into Neons, Miatas or Bimmers. Gotta be GM. I'm going to see it Sunday, if all goes well, I'll be giving it a new home. So my first post - what are important structural things to look for with these guys? For example - 1978 and up 'metric' G-bodies were notorious for rusty rear frame rails (here in PA, land of the 'tin worm'). Frames cracking around the steering box on 73-87 GM trucks, K-members rusting out on Cavalier/Sunfires - stuff like that. I'll be looking the car over carefully, but like with the Cavaliers - I wouldn't expect K-members to go so bad, but I hear that was a big problem with 'em. So mainly, just structural bad spots are what I'm looking for now, but any advice on looking over these cars is greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to playing with (it's all fun and games until the credit card bills start rolling in!) my new toy, posting and learning from you guys and gals. Thanks in advance!!
