New kid
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

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  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!!!!!!!!!

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

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