before people start saying stuff...I would like to edit my previous post but can't (I hadn't seen the sticky at the top of this section about mods).

Believe it or not, that's a rare color. Quasar blue, was only available from '93-94. It's actually a very nice color when it's shined up.
This might be a stretch for a first performance mod, but ditch the slushbox. The one thing I could never stand on my '89 was the 3 speed auto. HM282 FTW!
1989 Z24 Convertible - Dust Covered
2006 tC - Dust Covered, but driven more
I have a video on my myspace of a knocking sound that the car makes when i start it....any input is appreciated. I don't really know about engines (the main reason i wanted this car). Check it out:

Congrats on your new baby... she is beautiful.
Please keep us post your progress.
May be some spun rod bearings...ouch...
Man that bottom end is toasted. May as well rebuild or swap a 3x00 in.
With the rest of the car in that shape, i found it hard to beleive that the engine only had 112k on it. Most likely 212k :-(
I would do a rebuild if i were you. Knife edge the cam, New Rods,Pistons, bore/hone cylinders, and some good head work, and gaskets of coarse. You probably could get some nice pep from it when all is said in done if you do all that and add some bolt ons. Add fresh paint, and you will have a beautiful car, one that i dream about. To bad all of them i can find in CT are crap.
Body is a little rough, but who cares! Put some time and love into it and it'll surely be a great DD for many years to come
