Car Details:Dear guys, after all these years I have finally made a childhood dream come true as I have bought my dream car. It's the 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS. I know she's not everyone's taste & yes being 26 years old she needs a little work. The truth is I'm not great with cars but really want to learn on how to repair & fix certain things so I can look after her & give her a good life. Previous owner has really kept her great so I need to maintain that standard. I just wanted to join this forum to hopefully if needed gain some hints & tips along the way, this is completely new to me so apologies.
All the best
John
Dear guys
Apologies as I am completely new to this. My name is John and I live in Norwich.
since childhood I have always dreamed of owning a Camaro, I never thought it would come true due to cost, how to get one etc. this last week has been a whirlwind for me as I have bought one & will hopefully receive it next Friday. It's a 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS, v8, 5L, with just over 40,000 on the clock. In a car enthusiasts eyes It's not perfect mainly due to paint work, inner lining & a little rust. However it's perfect to me & I hope I can maintain the standard the previous owner has kept. I will be honest, I have joined this site because I know very little about cars but I want to learn and gain knowledge to help me on my journey in making it so it is perfect in the eyes of a pro. I don't have all the money in the world but in time I hope it gets there.
I hope everyone is well & best wishes to you
John
