Has 3 inch lowering blocks in rear, cut 2 coils up front. Its not quite as low as it looks in the pictures but it is a huge improvement. Rear Spring mounts appear to have been moved at some point then shoddily welded back on and held in place by u bolts. I have never had any problems with this while I have had it, however. A good welder could take care of this in no time.
Brand new hubcaps all around. Tires are fair. Original Spare in trunk.
Plug in your Ipod for tunes. 75 watt amp and new 6x9 speaker in place of the original. Original radio lights up but does not work.
Front seat is nice, rear seat has a covering over it. I took the ratty headliner out. Dash looks nice. Chrome is not perfect. Carpet appears to be an old replacement.
Floors are ok. The front pans have been redone at some point with some thin gauge metal, the trunk floor is the same way.
Car runs good. it has a slight sputter when idling but runs great down the road. It has a pointless petronix ignition system and runs off of an alternator. It uses a little bit of oil and loses a little water but not to any great extent. I put a quart of oil in every now and then and usually top the water off every couple weeks. The choke does not work, it has an aftermarket accelerator pedal and uses a cable instead of the stock linkage, which blocks the choke.
Theres is a little bit of play in the steering. Everything under there appears to be original so some of it is probably a little sloppy.
Brakes are decent. I went through and honed 2 cylinders and replaced 1. The other one was replaced before I bought the car and doesnt appear to be that old. I accidently bled air back into the lines when I was bleeding them and I just havent wanted to get down and bleed em again. I will fix that this weekend sometime.
Headlights work, dim and bright, tailights and brakelights work. The rear blinkers were working before I disconnected the front to paint the grill. I think they just need to be grounded out. The speedometer makes an awful racket when connected so I disconnected the cable. The dome light works.
Paint is chipping on the hood and around the rear "fins". It looks good from 20 feet away. There is bondo in the trunk and in the rear quarter. There is probably some around the fender wells also, but I do not know the extent. There is rust in the quarter panels. They are ok for a daily driver but in a restoration you would probably want to replace them. There are a few dings on the roof.
Wipers are not hooked up and are missing the arms. I don't know if the "motor" works.
I have probably left something out, please feel free to ask if you would like to know anything more or get more pictures. I'm trying to be as honest as possible. There is a lot that needs work, but it is a fun neat car that I drive to town often and is a good start. Im just looking now for a new project.
EDIT: Needs parking brake cable, and igntion switch does not use key. Ignition switch works fine otherwise.

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
