Welcome (even though I'm new here, too).

The GS is one of my favorite cars of all time. My dad had a 69, 70 and 72.

What work have you done to the car, besides the obvious wheels/tires and lowering? Any pics of the interior and/or engine?

[Roadrage David]

[UK-Mustang]

welcome! Cool wheels, what kind are they?

I think they are fom a BMW....

From one of the tuning companys, i'm sure I seen a couple of cars with them.

Rare and unusual no matter how you look at it!

Suits the car perfectly

[JURGEN]

welcome! Cool wheels, what kind are they?

the wheels are from the BMW tuningcompany A.C. schnitser

8.5x18 et 15 front and 9.5x18 et 20 rear.
for the rear I need some spacers (1.5 inch)
the front fits perfect.

Hi Jurgen, welcome here (I am also on AAP).

I would like to see some more pics, like the ground clearance and distance between lower arms/frame....

How many cm clearance do you have (at the frame around the oil pan and at the rockers?)

I lowered mine too but I am a bit worried about the speedbumps (drempels)

take a look at my website page 42 for my clearance pics.

I will see you at a meeting soon I think.
Regards,
Martin

That's a sweet car! I am going to Eindhoven in February...hopefully I will see some cars as cool as that when I am there.

Hi Jurgen, welcome. Nice car.

Do you have some interior shots you would like to share with us? I see that you have some aftermarket seats and am curious to what kind you used.

Groetjes,
René

[JURGEN]

the chassis is not painted, but had a special bath several years ago during his body off resto
I dont know the right word but in dutch it's ''verzinkt"
i'm sure some dutch guys on this forum know the english word for it.
martin I dont think you have to worry about the speedbumps.
i've driven a very low pontiac for several years (evern lower as your camaro) .and my buick a few times now, you must just use your fine breaks and watch out.

some pics of the interior ( quality is not very good and colors are in real life much better. I take them in a few days )

I have the sportseats directly boltend on the bucketseat frame
so now I have power seats with massage and heating.

[Martin71RS]

"Verzinkt" is called zinc plated..... and your ground clearance pics helped me...thanks!
what rate are your front springs (and can you notice when your a-arms hit the frame?)?
I like the wheels on your car....forget about what the 15" chrome wheels gang at AAP forum say...they just haven't seen the light.:banghead:

[CliffS]
