hey there!

Im Billy, will turn 21 this month, originally from England but moved to Ontario Canada 6 months ago!.

Ive been into Hotrods and American muscle cars all my life thanks to my Dad, last 4 years i have been in to aircooled Volkswagens and got into the watercooled volkswagens too (i can hear a lot of boos now ).

ive just bought a very very cheap 1985 Z28 project and i know NOTHING about them! and neither does my dad so its all new to us so i will be asking ALOT of questions while building it

im planning to turn it into a 12 second street driven car.

these are the only picture of the car i have until its delivered on saturday

welcome to the site. A third gen is a GREAT platform for a nice streetable 12 sec car. They are light, easy to get parts for, and cheap to work on. Good luck, and as Al stated, ask away. Good luck, Eric L

Awesome! Project cars are the best way to do things (and not do things ). Ask questions, listen to the answers and we'll get you there!
