Almost ready to start !





Then the first startup.

So, I received the air cleaner



Then waiting for my friend to finish the engine setup I began to rebuild the front and the rear brakes.





Then we found the 780CFM carburator was just too much for the engine setup, so I bought a 650CFM dual pomper.


Then I received my hood





I was pissed off about the timing chain spitting oil everywhere, so we tow the car to my friend garage


To the garage


Unfinished engine bay



Then the garage where I send the car blew the engine...... too much gaz on oil and they beat the shit out of it... and they don't want to repair the engine... god.




Sooooo I my son born, didn,t have the time and money to rebuild the bloc... soo, 200$ engine let's go to roll that summer.


I was surprised than the engine become orange after washed it up during 4 hours lol


After quick paint.


And new 200$ engine on the hole lol




Quick shot with my friend




Then I bought a Nissan Altima 2006






New aluminium rad with homemade support





New flashers






Almost clean interior



I tried sticker on my wheels, not bad, god those wheels are fugly.




Here in Québec we have a holiday that called St-Jean-Baptiste, in few words it's just a day to drink beer all day long lol... so the Camaro pay the prise of my drunk.

friend at home

Looks good man, I just picked up a set of coil overs for my 89. These cars just don't like to be slammed.
