Bought a z28 for cheap, needs a LOT of work, I know. Bought it not running, got it running, but found issues.

Start with pictures

The "Darkened light" shot where the car looks slightly better.
The reality, full rebuild of car

Currently replaced the camshaft, a few of the lobes were rounded out. Got a few good deals and put on 2.02 heads, lifters, roller rockers, camshaft. Getting new headers this week and a new exhaust system.
I know I should rebuild the bottom end but I want to drive this car this year before it's over. then everything


Things to do:
Bottom end work/full rebuild
New Carb
New floor pans
New rear quarter panels
New interior

Fun car for now.

Nice. Had a 1979 Z with the same auto and black exterior/red interior, but t-tops.
Best things I did to that car were:

Cams and intake
4.56 gears
PST poly kit and sways
Brake pads, and lines

Have fun, mine was an absolute blast.

How the interior sat just a couple hours ago. I was determining the condition of the floorboards

Not so bad, but still just as bad.
