Hey yall, im new to the whole camaro scene. My brother just gave me his beat up 1997 v6 camaro. Ive always been a huge fan of muscle cars, so im very happy with the car although its beat up.

I know a little bit about general stuff about cars, not to much in depth though. Id love to learn more about my car if anyone is willing to teach me, and i hope i fit in well around here 8-)

Hey, thanks all. Here are some pics of the body damage that happen to the car (automatic gate closed on it at a parking garage)

This is a indent in the front left side of the bumper, it has to crease and i know its plastic and all, but you think itll be possible to pop it out?

The whole passenger side fender is messed up, also another dent in the bumper, and this one has a crease in the middle, idk if i could pop it out.



ALSO: A friend of mine is a mechanic, he fixed up my engine with some homeade peices :lol: because he said for the actual parts it would cost 300+ dollars. Does anyone know what this is? AND YES, THAT IS BEING HELD TOGETHER BE PAPERCLIPS!!!!!!!!! :shock:

Are those hoses expensive?

ya, but i've seen better rigs then yours :lol:

[ib4200]

Welcome!

[MyFirstZ]

you can pick them up under 200$ but getting the hoses off the back by the heater core can be a pain if you dont have the right tools

[JerzLT1]

I work at the Airforce base in EHT, youll probably see my bike a lot more than my car.... its not very street friendly

[12secondv6]

Woot, another v6er!

Yup, heater hose clamp.... I bypassed mine..... but I do not suggest that.

[CHRIS67]

Welcome to the site! At lease those are childproof caps on your heater hoses. :lol:

Welcome fellow V6'er. There is a member on here Smoke Em94, parting out a 1997 Pontiac firebird that has the same hoses. they are very fragile, so besure to take extra care when takign them off or on. I found out 215 bucks later when i went to take them off incorrectly.

being as your from EHT, if your 18+, take a trip over to Dirks on the White horse pike where the Weymouth furnace is at, I saw a couple camaro's in there if you were lookign to get some new fenders.
