Go 'Lil Camaro Go

[SOD]

Hi all...

On April 2011 I bought 2 Gen Camaro 1980.

And what we got?

Body with new hood, floor panels and threshold.

New rear end and all new suspensions.

Interior is very bad...wet and with mold.

I haven't gearbox, engine and electrical wiring )

I was wondering the same... I've had the impression that american cars haven't been too common in Russia but I guessed there must be some enthusiasts at least 

 

keep up the hard work! you guys have much cheaper gas there, don't know about the rest 

[pantera]

 

It suprises mee too that there is so few f-bodies compared massive amount of US made suv's. I guess old cars ,specially cheap everyday american sports cars as camaroes ain't so sexy as big escalades etc.

Anyways welcome ,it's nice to get some eastern neighbor car nuts to our site, keep up sprit there

Looking good!  Are there many American cars in Russia, is the "yankee" culture strong?

Most part of US cars here is neon, sebring, jeep's and brand new (SHITY Korean) chevys as SPARK )))) and new Caddys and Tahoes also.

Not to much true Vans, GMT 410 (Tahoe, Yukon) and old stuff cars. We have some Rockabilly parties 

May be you know Russian band Mentraitors, my friend is a singer...

But I am really Thrash Metal Fan!!!!!  \ \

Can somebody give me photos of his own camaro brake lines?

And what should I use for fix line at the the vehicle floor?

Thanks.

[Möykkä]

And what should I use for fix line at the the vehicle floor?

 

If you don't have the original bracket for the hose, you should manufacture one.

In the bracket you drill and shape an appropriate hole for the hose you're using.

Attach the bracket for example by welding it to the floor.

Make sure the hose is long enough for the suspension to move freely.

[Möykkä]

Attach the hose to the bracket with a brake hose clip.

[SOD]

Möykkä thank you.

And how is line fixed on the floor in original cars?

[Nupa]

Here´s one more useful site with wiring diagrams etc.

[Möykkä]

Möykkä thank you.

And how is line fixed on the floor in original cars?

 

You're welcome

You can attach the rear brake line to the side of the rear and front subframes and the driveshaft tunnel with brake line clips.

I don't know how it's been done originally in 2nd gen f-bodies , but who cares as long as it looks nice and works allright

[Möykkä]

Almost any sort of small clip will do the job, just attach them with screws.

You can easily manufacture your own clips also.

If the clip is loose on the line, take a short length of small hose (fuel hose, coolant hose or whatever), split the hose on one side and place it lengthwise between the tube and the clip.

Möykkä - THANKS MAN!

I paid 21500 rubbles for it or it is 717$.

How do you think is it good price for this stuff?

[Hurja]

I think you got lots of stuff for that money, if the parts are in good condition.
