Nice deal. Leather has alot of character to it. A good cleaning, some fenders, a motor and a cheapy paint job alone would make it look sweet. Those wheels alone are worth a few hundred. | |

To be clear... this is a GTA, right?
Fix the fender and you got yourself a real gem there. Without seeing more, it looks like there isn't a whole lot to do comestically outside of that.
Please keep us apprised of your progress! | |

fix some minor rust, replace the pass. side fender, fix a couple of small dings in the drivers fender, L98 swap, a repaint. I thought about putting 85-90 ground effects on it but keep the front end I'm not sure yet. | |

I would love to have that interior. Dirty or not, it's gorgeous. I want to get some leather strapped into mine, but right now I'm thinking about dropping some Corvette buckets in. | |

That's a great deal! just the rims, tail lights, and spoiler together could easily bring in $500. It looks like a nice 84 T/A you have in the background there too :-) | |
