1988 IROC-Z

[Crispy]

Gonna have to follow this thread for 3rd gen porn.

Glad its got new seals, those 3rd gens love to leak. Do you have subframe connectors installed? If not, move that to near the top of the list.

As far as I know 3rd gens had a t top bag that would sit where the box is now.

I owned a '88 V6, my first american car. Man i loved that powerless thing.
The thirdgen.org forum is awesome.

So you are looking for a t-top bag and a set of sun shades? I'll take a look, I know my brother recently got a set of shades from me, but I think I still have another pair or two.

I found this listing and think that's one heck of a good deal..

It's 105° here today, I really need to fix the A/C! I took the box and woofers out today, there was power there!

Previously $6405
+ $15 for lightbulbs
+$66 for the MT2500
+$93 title transfer
+$51 for lug nuts, more light bulbs, floor mats, and a hotrod magazine

Rounding up to eliminate the decimal.

= $ 6630

Finally got somebody to tell me I gave too much for it. /shrug. My mek-a-nik homeboy that has my C20...that is going well. Got him too look at this A/C and that was not good...
Botched/ bad / half assed attempt at a 134 conversion...sad news. IROC needs a new line, dryer, compressor, orifice tube ++
( +or- $1,000)

Yep, that's great especially if shipping is free.

Nice looking IROC. I almost bought one new in 87-88ish. It was a convertible, donut spare tire would barely fit out of the trunk and actual tire had no chance to fit. Asked the salesman where I should put the tire if I got a flat and he said, "put in the passenger seat". He lost the sale at that point.

I remembered to look in the spare tire well last night, thanks to YOU @dvdswan .

Guess? what I found?

Foam.
For an unknown reason, some P.O. ***** ...filled the well with spray foam.

What's that you say? No effing way Rusty, why would somebody do THAT?

I don't know.
Behold!
I has pictures for proof!

P.O.s attack! One for the books, the P.O.s STRIKE BACK!

Revenge of the P.O.s

Y'all thought I was playin..


P.s. there was no spare. I think mainly because THERE ISN'T ROOM FOR ONE!
(guess i'll have to cut that **** out)
Yippee!

 

[dvdswan]

Dude, I'm sorry... but all I can do is LMAO!

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are. Its obvious he/she was covering up a noise.

Apologies for laughing at your anguish. But DAMN! I, like you, would be throwing wrenches. Never underestimate the power of stupid people.

 

[Crispy]

Covering a noise to breed a bunch of rust. FARK THAT!

 

[Frankenchevy]

Expanding foam insulation and peel n stick flashing...nice

Perhaps it was owned by a window installer at some point

Maybe just make a parcel tray out of T-111 and call it good

 

[Blue Ox]

The spare was probably squeaking and he took it out, but heard that the spare is integral to the crumple zones soooooo,...…….

 

[bucket]

Well that's a first...

 

[Charlie]

Check out the foam when you remove it...could be drugs inside it!!!

 

[dvdswan]

@Rusty Nail Do you have the jack and wrench.. or is it foamed in too?

 

[Rusty Nail]

.......jokes! everybody has jokes now.

At least the spare I choose to put in there won't rattle around.

I really hope I don't find anything terrible on there..I have a clean CarFax report without accident (s).

This time of the year is STUPID BUSY for me. I may have some time Sunday night? Think i'll attack it with a kitchen knife.

I laugh my ass off at it now only thinking about it...that's so dumb.
Wtf? I'm dying to find out WHY.

 

[dvdswan]

I think your best bet would be to cut out triangles a little at a time just so you don't put knife scratches all over the wheel well.
