Hi
Back from my hols
Now for a real busy winter,checked out rafes old camaro ok some work needs tidying but not to worried as this car will be off road now till next summer for some major custom work.
I know rafe was dissapointed to have to sell her,
I know that feeling when I like an idiot gave mine away to need I say
But Let see if between Rocky and myself we can't turn that around
Lots of things to get done and lots of bucks to spend.
Lets see if we can build ourselves a show stopper or maybe 2 Rich

I'm a stock man myself, but hey it's your car and your money, Rafe will have that haunted look

Old wheels and tyre will be up for sale at some point, most of you guys have seen the condition of these wheels and tyres
will not be straight away as we need to move her about until the the new ones arrive.
Give you time to save those pennies

Blimey!

Didn't realize you were going for the custom look Mike!

As a stock car there wasn't much she needed other than tidying and the bonnet paint around the louvres.

It will be interesting to see how she ends up given that she was already not far behind Ryan's to begin with!

Just promise me you won't do a horrific paint job like some people have done, that ruin the cars great lines!

You should get a good price for my wheels and tyres given that all 4 tyres are new, and the wheels are damn near mint.

Are you planning some serious engine mods then?

Well we told you not to sell it

mike

All I can promise is the changes planned are all reversable but the look needs to be something personal to me.
I can drive around in a car that's the same as others but that's not me.
Did say you would be shocked rafe
But this car will now stay with me for good most standard parts will be kept,apart from wheels and tyres.

Not forgetting that they have been refurbed by Pristine Wheels

Shame they're not 17's, as I'm on the lookout for some.

Giblets

16's look big enough on an F-Body though.

Not on modern cars though.
