Some pics of my T/A (updated better quality pics) - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

The_Wraith · 07-04-2009, 11:21 PM

Nearing completion I decided to take some photo's, Not the best pics but they will do. Dont mind the trunk lid its getting painted shortly.

Decals are 76/77' T/A replicas , ordered to custom size in thirdgen locations , I even have T/A 5.0 for the hood but im not sold on it yet. I also may completly remove the sail birds or possibly center them a little more. I have an extra set so im trying it out.

I like alot of things on this car.... slammed, old school graphics, formula hood..

U need to dump the exhaust pipes.....put some turndowns or something. man they stick out like a turd in a punch bowl. JMO, but overall I love the car.

Yeah I have a complete muffler setup with stainless 4thgen SS style tips I think they may go a bit better with the flow.

Car got so low because of 2" drop springs , interior shots will have to wait as it is a complete mess.

The_Wraith · 07-08-2009, 03:53 PM

Took a few pics with my friends Z34

GodSpeedGTA · 07-08-2009, 09:21 PM

Outstanding pics, love the headlight conversion, just started having problems with my headlights poping up, if you can clue me in on your conversion process, would greatly appreciate it. my car was stored for so long, having little problems come up, like the multi-purpose relays on driver firewall, check engine light was coming on sporatically, engine ran terrible, but found the problem on this forum, those 2 little relays....Car runs great now. looking to change out the rear, the 3:27 gears gotta go,want 3:73's All 88 GTA'scome with the australian 9 bolt which is not upgradable. Need a camaro 10 bolt to get it down. Know of one around?.

strc09 · 07-27-2009, 08:43 PM

Which year model front air dam are you using on your TA?

The_Wraith · 07-27-2009, 09:19 PM

Far as I know its stock.

Dacman88GTA · 07-27-2009, 09:23 PM

88,car is all original

kent624 · 07-29-2009, 03:37 PM

i like how it says pontiac on the air dam ive never seen that before and is very unique and is your headlight cover off a 91 or 92 firebird and im not sure but are your headlights actually meant to be fog lights? I think ive seen them at auto zone or napa

Thanks!,I'll have to dig and find some of the writeups I did when people have Pm'd me about it. It's lots of work but well worth it! All in all the wiring is really easy , nearly plug and play. A bonus is it can be taken back to stock easily if wanted.

Yeah one day I was out messing with the car and was trying to think of a way to make it catch the eye a little when on the road (from a distance) so I added the PONTIAC decal to the air dam , I will probably end up painting it on as it takes a beating with the car so low. Headlight cover is from a 91-92 yes , my lights are driving lights , I upgraded the bulbs and they a bit brighter then stock. There is also the option of going with a full upgrade with ballasts ,etc.

Intersting considering my 88 came from the factory with a 3-peice airdam.

On the donor front side skirts I got were from a GTA. They too were two seperate pieces. Maybe the early 85-86's got these air dams? I looked under the car and it appears to be factory. I do like the one piece better thats for sure.

1ATony · 07-31-2009, 09:28 AM

Those are some cool pics.

I agree...I think the one-piece looks hot. I was just confused like I mentioned because my 88 GTA came with a 3-peice vice the one peice. Do you have pictures of how it looks under the nose of your car. I may have to go out and search for a one-piece setup in the near future.

thelastz28 · 08-01-2009, 02:36 PM

Awesome looking Trans Am. Would you send me a PM, if you're still selling the clear bumper lenses.
