Re: 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.

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.

Re: I just bought an abandoned 90 ZR-1 #226
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. |

Re: I just bought an abandoned 90 ZR-1 #226
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.

Re: I just bought an abandoned 90 ZR-1 #226
This was a very cryptic post. Does this mean everything has been sold?
