I just bought an abandoned 90 ZR-1 #226

So its been a while I know, I at least figured out what happened (as far as it had previously been repaired) to this cars paint and body work at least on the driver side door the halo area and the quarter panel.

I could see a couple distinct lines in the cracks on the halo and it appeared to be filler so I tore it out, apears the panel was cut in these areas of the halo and the rest was a combo of different things like old school fiberglass on the driver's door. None of it was even close to a SMC fiberglass repair, It was never done with the intention of lasting for longer than the time it took to moved out of the body shop.

Poor car

I also have no idea why the photos twisted on me. I resized them and still twisted click on them and they are right side up.

Hey Phrogs--If you took them with an iPhone the default setting for it is landscape and if you post pix taken vertically on some websites they will be flipped 90 degrees. One solution for this (there may be others) is to load them onto a Windows computer and use the Paint program. Open each in Paint, select rotate, rotate first right, then rotate left, then save it. That will remove that default landscape setting and you can straighten them with any program and they will stay. You can also edit them on the iPhone, which allows you to flip them, but I don't know if that makes the change permanent. I know this sounds a bit cumbersome, but I have been doing it for a long time and normally just have a few pics to correct at a time and it is no problem for me., I also use the simple Windows program Microsoft Office (mine is a 2010 version) to crop, lighten and make other simple editing changes. Give it a try and see if it works. If it doesn't, well, the advice you get from me is worth what you pay for it!

And as to the car, do you think it was a rollover?--Bob

I will have to do that in the future. Stupid phones

I also don't think it was in a roll over but It's hard to say what happened.

I think I'm going to strip the paint off of this side of the car and see what I can find.

What was the final decision to part out or not part out? I had a parts request in since mid 2022. Need the coolant / heater core metal/rubbers hoses that run from the thermostat housing to the heater box. Thanks!

If I didn't already have a C4 racecar project, I would so be interested in turning that into a race car.

1990 #226 Black / Black, 2 top (clear and painted), California car for what it is worth.
I would also be interested in the plastic clip covers and that connect to the heater element on the hatch struts.
