Since I was a kid I've always wanted an 80's Camaro. I like the blocky design for some reason. Next year I will be moving into a place that will have a garage so that I can have a shop. I thought it would be fun to pick up an old project car. Before I go any further, I will say that I'm not very mechanically inclined and I'm not really that much into performance. I drive a Saturn as my daily driver, if that tells you anything. I'd get the Camaro more for looks and for fun. I'm into painting and other aesthetic stuff like rims and whatnot, plus stereo equipment.
I found an 86 Camaro on Car Domain I really like...the hood scoops are bit over-the-top but I like them. I know I want a T-Top and stick shift. The engine I don't really care about, V-6 or V-8 is fine. Anyone know how many MPG each gets by any chance? Or how the ride is? I'm more interested in a comfortable, smooth ride than extreme performance.
At any rate, it's just an idea I'm kicking around. Have any of your restored a car? Any tips for fixing up old cars, painting, rebuilding things, even stuff like buffing/polishing I'd be interested in. btw my wife said no mullet
