I got a great deal on a camaro last summer, 500 bucks and I had to mow the guys yard a couple of times

Anyway, I started driving it because It had a solid color of paint, and drives like a go cart. But being a wedding photographer, the amount of miles I travel in a day, I've come crawling back to the tbird. For being over 20 years old, Its functional, comfey, and the off-road appearance it has pushes bumps out of the way.
I drove it today, 279k miles and still going, heads are ticking, front end is a wreck, and it has half the balls it used to have, ran it without oil once (was going to friends funeral, forgot to check it)
So consider this a fair warning, you guys are about to help me bring this bubba back to life :hick: Im tired of watching it rot into the road.
I'm going to try my best to dig up info without making a mess of duplicate threads, but I apologize in adavnce if i do!

Good to hear you want to fix the tbird. You've come to the right place.
If you ever need parts, help, or just wanna hang out let me know. I'm over by the Ricart mega mall.
Edit: Maybe less on the parts. Most of my parts are for 4 eyes.
I hope you don't have the required mullet that Camaro drivers are required to have.LOL.The Bird is much classier.Good call going back to it.We're here if you need us.
Hah, right by my old career center!
I wish i could find this pic of me when i was like... 6
I had a marrow-mullet haha
needless to say my hair is a one bald spot away from being a chrome-dome
That looks almost exactly like my old rustbucket camaro. I like the look of the 3rd gen camaros. I remember you could start it with any GM key.
haha, mines not THAT bad.... Well my astro van starts with any of my gm keys... I had to weld in a new rad support and battery tray due to rust. but other than that I wont complain. Afterall, I paid 500 bucks for a 63k mile car
I want to get 4th gen seats for it but Im determined to take the tbird to catjam and get more than a "hey! you own a rustbucket bird like the rest of us, want a cookie?" lol
I wanted a 3rd Gen Camaro for my first car. Ended up with my Cougar. Thought about trading it, selling it to fund a Camaro, but I didnt. Best choice I didnt make.
You will find anything and everything you need here.
You wouldn't be the only one with an F-body at catjam.
Thats a nice Camaro. Obviously its no secret I like them. Here is one of old IROCs. But I like Cougars and Thunderbirds too :-)
