er, the louvers? I always had mixed feelings on those. When I was a kid my neighbor had an 85-90 TA that was totally badass, with louvers, but another guy down the street had a thirdgen z28 without em and it looked just as good..





hm, come to think of it, it's no suprise I got a thirdgen myself..

Because I have yet to find an accurate source of information on doing a v8, all there is, is tidbits and tidbits, I also have no tools at home but I have an engine hoist, figures. All my tools are at work which makes swapping engines interesting. Plus I plan on getting a Cutlass like my buddy had and swapping the 305 out for something a "little" bit better.

So is that it, you judge people on what shows they watch. Forshame

lol

A cruise every night would use all my money for the engine for gas money since my pos runs SO rich.

If i had a dollar for every gallon (yeah gallon) i burned of gas, I would be ever so rich

ooooo this could be interesting.... let me know what you guys think.


I found a guy looking to build up a profile of multimedia and graphic and web design stuff he has built so that companys can look at what he has done and consider hiring him, I asked him if he would build us a sweet looking GEN-3 site or do some graphics or decals or something, he said sure I just have to let him know what everyoen wants it to look like and pitch thier ideas.

Basically he uses it for his portfolio down the road and we get a nice lookin website out of the deal.

Yay or Nay?

Ok, sorry to bring it to you guys, Ive decided on the following.

Buy this 85 Regal
Sell the Camaro
Have somethign that runs and fast

I will still come cruise with u guys if u want, at the end of the pack haunting your asses but I wont be owning one, unless I dont buy this for some reason.

Mayeb I will look into a cheap v6 Camaro for a winter car as this isnt winterable. Then I can still be considered a part owner

ah, well, a v8 in a Buick is better'n a 6 in a Camaro, I guess. From a straight-line standpoint. Stock.

But I got through the winter ok in my T/A... But then.. I had brnad new winter tires and didnt have to go far.

I guess i'll post in this thread, since i'm from Calgary, and that's the point of this thread (well, was...)

I'm in the Dalhousie area, stones throw from the station. My car is on blocks now, as i'm restoring it this winter. Suspension first. (now)...

I'm a mechanical engineering intern, taking a year off for an internship. Then going back to UofC for 4th year. oh yea, I like long walks on the beach, and blondes

oh yea, Ryan, i'm coming down to piss in your gas tank, 'cuz I know where you work!!! while you're working i'll be the guy stumbling around looking for a white TA... (i'll have filled up on straight Rye or something, so it'll be mostly alcohol... for performance of course... i'm a nice guy after all!)
