88 Camaro Sport Coupe
I picked up a Maui Blue sport coupe that I plan to fix up.
i plan on some interior work, new seats, fixing the door arm rests and cleaning the crap out of the rest of it
outside it could use some new paint on this wonderful rust free body.
so far ive purchased new seats, awaiting delivery. repaired one of the door arm rests and reinstalled. ive began removing the factory striping along the bottom, all came off except most of the glue!
ill be taking more pictures as i go along but heres a few of my starting point...
ive already powerwashed the engine bay and all that grease sure did a nice job of protecting the painted areas! pics to come of that later

Armrest looks so much better....what'd you use to restick it? Believe it or not I used JB Weld on my old ones a long time ago and then held up for a number of years.

i already looked it up... its got L9184 and U9184, its not technicly a 2 tone like the chevy trucks were listed
the only silver i can find for an 88 camaro is 9021 or 13s
i also ran all the RPO's and it has WW2 which is 'apperance package (silver), aero #2'
