21 Years Later She's Free....
(EDIT: Using this thread to post pictures of the entire restoration process, most pictures of the process start on page 2)
The pictures speak for themselves .... Its currently sitting with The Autodream Group in Niagara Falls, Ont. Hoping to get her back before the summer is over (this is my dad's first car and is having it restored).... (Forgot to take a picture of the engine bay , will have to get one when we go for the estimate) Front wheels broke loose, back wheels wouldn't budge an inch, dragging the entire way out. No idea why the console faded, thing didn't see sun for literally 21 years.

So you pulled all that crap out of the garage? How did all that fit in there??? Looks like it all would have fit like one of those puzzles where you have to get all the pieces together to make a cube.
What all are you having done? Personally loved that gen when I was a teenager. |

Got up an hour before the tow truck showed up and cleared it out. I didn't even think to take a picture before I started ...I do have these pictures though, can kind of get an idea of what it was like....It did fit exactly like that, piled on top and all around it.

Nope, just silver, all the dust on it I guess made the camera pick up the color like that. Once complete it will either be the same color or canary yellow, my dad is still deciding.

My uncle just painted 79 Camaro for a customer Canary yellow. Looked pretty nice. I like black with the orange Z graphics.

Black was another color thrown out there. but there is lots of time to make a decision. Only problem is if he decides to go with yellow the interior will probably have to change. Yellow and red not to sure about that.

I've seen a Red with Red Interior and I really liked it, but I'm also biased because I'm a red fan.

Everybody is different, I get that. For the life of me though, I can't grasp the concept of having a garage and instead of parking a vehicle(s) in it, someone chooses to stack junk to the ceiling in it, thus rendering it useless. In this case, the person stuck a car in one for 21 years and piled junk to the ceiling ON TOP OF THE CAR. Good luck with the restoration.
