I never wanted to do this thread until it was done but now it is so I'll make it.
Where to start, we'll this is my brother's car but as hes too lazy to post anything I'll do it for him. This car has been in the family for about 6 years but my brother bought it from my stepsister in 07.
It started out in life as a car which the only option that was ordered was sadly an automatic transmission, nothing else even though we have the original tape that tells about the car yet.
But enough of all of that garbage the fun started in june of 08 when my brother was up at wyotech to get his degree, biggest waste of money ever but that's another story. He originally just wanted to change the head gaskets as they had rotted away but since he was in a high performance program he decided to go ahead and port and polish the heads and intakes. He was gonna go ahead and cam it but funds wouldn't allow for it. Eventually by july it was all back together and on the first start it was running great but then about 3 minutes in it started to go a little crazy and shut off. They had determined that it was dumping fuel all the time but they could never figure out why. The only thing that wasn't tried was replacing the pcm I would've got him one but we were almost 300 miles away. By august the car had to be out of there so they gave up on it and took out the engine and trans so we could figure everything out when it was home. That in itself was an adventure. Heres some pics of the 3.4 some have seen these:
Now once we got it home he ran into some financial problems as wyotech never helped him find a job so he got stuck installing options on new cars at a dealership making only 8.50/hr. Then the student loan payments started earlier than he thought so the project stalled. Then the firebird came along and that drained anything that had been saved for the camaro so it sat for over year. The only time it got any attention was when we washed it or made it a christmas decoration.
Really we only started to do anything until sometime in 09 but it was only minor stuff like the front bumper and fender. It was sad and pitiful at that point it had even gotten my shitty rims and tires on it.
