New Camaro "almost-owner"
 

Greetings guys and gals,
my name's Vadim, and soon i'm (not me, actually, but my wife) gonna be an owner of 2010 Camaro 1LT.
Why "almost-owner"? First, because i live far from US or even North America. I'm from Belarus (a small country near Russia). And 2nd, i bought salvaged car, so I count on your advices - there are no Chevrolet dealerships here, but fortunately I'm a DIY guy.

Right now car is in NJ port, waiting to be shipped.

I'll post my progress on the car rebuild process once it arrives and i get my hands into it. Hopefully, it'll be a nice BD present for my my wife when i'm done.

Once again, hi everyone and...sorry for my bad English :)

Well thats pretty cool. Welcome, hope you have a great time rebuilding your (wifes) new car!!

That's awesome!! Congrats man!!

Welcome you will find plenty of answers here

Thanx guys, here are some pics of what i've purchased:

The car starts and drives, and has no frame damage according to carfax.
The whole front fascia and fenders are already purchased and are on the way to the port.
The first question - what is this black piece of frame just below the bumper reinforcement on the 2nd pic? I haven't been able to find it in the parts catalogs

Vadim, CONGRATS, and boy do you have your hands full.....looks like a a real project! I am sure we can adn will help you all we can.

oh and btw.....Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to Camaro5. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in them...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's and wive's here don't care....and take it easy.

oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here.

Welcome!!

you might need new door skins too. looks like it buckled.

Congrats on your purchase!!

We don't care as long as you bring us a couple of beers too :drinking:

You would not believe....but that's what i'm doing right :) Laying back, drinking beer :)

What bought me in that car is that airbags weren't deployed - the only reason i can find is that it was smacked while being parked.

Congrats, make sure to post pics once its all done.

For sure.

good luck... :)
