86_irocz-28

jharrison5

So you're the one who has been picking the goodies off of them LOL!

I feel for you right now man this weather has been nuts. I've upgraded to a heated garage and still haven't accomplished the amount of wok you have lol! Keep up the good work and maybe by next summer my damn car will be done!

86_irocz-28

uh yes sir yes I have lol yeah its been cold and still have no heater and the garage is detached with no insulation very cold and if you need help would love to anytime. Around tax time ill be on the hunt for a t56 may insulate the garage to, not for sure.

jharrison5

I'm working on the interior right now, but when I comes to motor time I'm going to need all the help I can get lol! A lot of my funds seem to get diverted to home projects now since I bought a house with a bigger garage. Soon she will be in running condition.... soon.

Pics pics and more pics






Cleaned both the garages


Box of goodies- tr55 plugs, new o2s, new iac/tps, new alt, new dayco belts.


Very happy with how the interior came out and shiny everything is minus the primer lol

Looking good dude....

harness was wrong sold it

86_irocz-28

Alright update first the harness I bought was wrong was from a 98 corvette so sold it and bought another harness from a 99 camaro also bought a amp seems and looks new got it extremely cheap

edit ditching the idea of halos all together

Lmancha96

Are those the halos that go directly onto the headlight housing? I recently saw some just like that in person and I did not like the look at all.

I would just go with the BMW headlights...

86_irocz-28

Yea they are they kinda look tacky and cheap

kmcn47

halos IMHO are completely pointless. and incredibly blinding to other motorists. my logic (if you can't see enough of the road to drive safely with the factory headlights or equivalent [silverstar bulbs ect ect] then you don't need to be driving)

Caveman305

iTrader: (8)

I don't think you understand the difference between standard and "Halo" housings, halo's are only on when the **** is pulled out one click, the "halo" is around the outer edge of the glass, once you turn the headlights on, the halo's are not visible any longer(on your typical setup)

HID's are what blind other drivers, only because people decided its a good idea to use them in fake projector housings(no control of the light output) or without projectors at all

when done properly with real projectors, HID's make a world of difference driving at night, and will not blind oncoming motorists, they also aren't cheap

86_irocz-28

Yea already took em off. Deloomed the engine harness and laid it out in the engine bay today also hooked up the amp to make sure it works which it does very happy with it. As far as headlights go I dont know what i will do maybe stock, e36(halo/non halo), projectors, aftermarket housing(black/chrome)... so many options. Already have the clear smoked housing side markers and will be getting the clear black turn signal housings so food for thought....

Is this a 4th gen Camaro in disguise build?

Lmancha96

STREETDEMON

props to the built not bought efforts!

86_irocz-28

The idea for this was a more modern 86 in terms of interior comfort, drivetrain, and ease of swap huge reason why I went with 4th gen wiring made everything simpler for me. Then there's the led lighting, temp/comp mirror etc. I've owned two other stock 86 camaros one sc and a Iroc so with this one I wanted something different.

Thank you have put a lot of work into this build to make it everything I want



Bit of progress got the stereo system wiring finished up really need new speakers the ones I had laying around are blown.... Got the rear hatch wired up got the ecu mounted where I want it and will be tucked out of the way best as possible. Also got my seats put back in I think that's all for now

86_irocz-28

Update and some news........

First buddy I work with had a flip out he gave me which is awesome its pretty basic but has dvd, usb mp3 port, bluetooth, sub output so works for me need to fix the rubber stripping on the screen heres pics



Secondly... found out wife is pregnant so project will be set back hopefully not the back burner but progress will probably slow

86_irocz-28

86_irocz-28

So plan is as follows motor is out of the car and finally have a day off with nice weather so want to clean polish the heads put the car in the air clean and undercoat the trans tunnel after that head to Upullit to see if I can find a hvac box if not will be rebuilding the front steering/suspension and cutting the front coils car has set for quite some time with the motor in place and it's horribly high oh and headlights should be here today as well don't know that I'll do anything with them till I get all the other stuff I need for them will update tomorrow with pics

86_irocz-28

So............ changing plans going auto so now for sale the pedal assem and a brand new clutch master simply doing this for cost and reliability also have almost everything I need to rebuild the front steering/brakes/suspension also got the motor adapters(wrong ones) so monday i have to go get the right ones. Believe thats all for now

86_irocz-28

Update bye bye stock rear end went and picked up a 4th gen rear from a 99 ss also got the aluminum driveshaft and torque arm paid 275 for all of it next fri will have a steering column coming. That is all.

90camaro355rs

1986Fbird

you have the best luck anyone in the world has finding parts for good prices, lol.

86_irocz-28

Constantly checking the cl and ls1tech classifieds

Dartht33bagger

The build looks awesome. It's nice to see a car so far gone being restored. I'm not a big fan of the fourth gen interior, though.

86_irocz-28

Thanks and I know its not everybodys taste but its something I plan on keeping forever and I liked the challenge of doing this and being different with everything ive done to the car and im happy with how it looks

fatalicshock

what did you have to do to the door panels to get them to work

86_irocz-28

Alot the door handles were a huge pain

1987vroom

can you tell me a little bit about the 3rd break light setup and maybe a few pictures..

im putting a 91-92 z28 high rise on my camaro and iv been looking for 91-92 glass rear in PERFECT condition with the third break light built in and its been hard finding one around here, but if i can just use my 87's glass (which is perfect) and add my own custom third light seems likes a good option for me

86_irocz-28

Plan is to buy a 86 lens and housing and place it over the leds basically brighter and cooler than the stock setup also could wire up each strip to one side of the turn signals and make them sequence but its a third brake light so the after burner leds work for me. Also another idea you could cut them down and place them inside the glass so you dont have to use a housing. Link to the leds below
