Rescued a 92 TA vert today!

I bought a black 92 Trans Am convertible today. Its a little rough (needs paint,interior,motor knocks, and it needs a top.) But its solid, no rust that I could see.

Nice going - it's great when someone rescues an F-body 'vert - there won't be any more of them, just fewer of them, hope you get along with it okay . . .

Either upload them to photobucket and transfer them over with the [img] code or put them on this site with attachments. If you do the attachments way, just click on reply to this thread and scroll down. There should be a button called manage attachments.

Re: Rescued a 92 TA vert today!

Put bird on hold while I build a shop to work on it. Had the 350 built and then realized I was going about it in the wrong way. I'm building a 24x30 shop with a 7x20 office with bath. Got concrete slab poured last week and built a 7 ft wood fence around the sides and back. I'm still buying parts and tools to do this car right. Been busy, hope to complete shop by the end of April. There's your update
