In today's video, I'll be rescuing a forgotten 1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Convertible and giving it the first cleaning it's had in at least 15 years (probably longer than that)! I'm pre-planning future content once I finish up several other builds and this car is part of those plans! I will not be doing any kind of mechanical work on this car in the near future as I have several other things I have to get through first so consider this a "teaser" of what's to come! What I'm really excited about, aside from it being a convertible, are the possibilities this car will offer for future video content. This video will focus on detailing! Obviously, the car is in pretty poor shape and of course doesn't run at the moment, but just wait till you see the DRAMATIC transformation from before to after!

The wheel swap transformed it. I think ASC did the convertible top conversion...always wondered how it was done but in this vid you can see how they basically capped off the rear after cutting along the top of the quarter panel. Lots of mods to the windshield header too. I think after years of mouse piss I'd just throw the interior soft stuff away and look for a carpet kit and seat foam and upholstery, if available for this gen

I have a 89 firebird formula. Had to laugh I put that exact radio in mine in 98. That paint is also single stage Maaco probably late 90s early 2k. (I also had a maaco spray in the late 90s and can recognize the overspray) My guess it was done up in the late 90s and then parked in and around 2005. My 89 firebird I LS swapped, converted to a manual T56. All gauges work, AC, everything. If you decide to LS swap it it's pretty straightforward. My car was the 305 L03TBI/700r4 originally also. Hawks has the repop wheels in 17 inch.
