michigan here. Troy/Sterling Heights area. Although my car hasnt been out in the last 2 summers. Funds permitting maybe i will tear into it this year.

V6canvas · 01-09-2008, 08:47 PM

What do you need to do?

andrew91rs · 01-10-2008, 08:45 AM

ive got all kinds of plans lol.

350 carbed build and rebuild the 700 r4, and swap out the 305

Exhaust/Headers

Rear end - posi and better gear.

Body work. I would like to take apart the interior so i can weld some holes on the floor board before they get any worse. And i also have some small arust starting around the rear fender wells, that needs to be taken care of.

Then once the body work is done eventually a repaint.

Right now the car looks good from 30 feet away but when you get up close you notice all the problems

Here is a pic of the car before i put it away 2 years ago. I have since sold the wheels.

89ROCDROPTOP · 01-10-2008, 02:51 PM

Looks pretty clean in those pics.

MI87form350 · 01-24-2008, 11:01 PM

Anyone else from the 'Tip of the Mitt'? I am in Petoskey. I moved here about 2 years ago from Houston, Texas with my yellow 87 Formula 350. Still a bit rough but I am working on it slowly but surely.

Oh I brought the family with me to...

----------
BTW. For a small town I see a lot of Third Gens around. I am hoping that there are a few on the board.

Wixom Collision on Beck Rd south of Pontiac Trail. Good work ($).

Austins up in Holley are cheaper and a good place to go if you are into doing some of the grunt work yourself.

I got a car painted at the Maaco in Burton (south of Flint) that I was happy with for a daily driver. I spent 20-30 hours preping it myself mind you. A third what Wixom wanted and half what Austin quoted.

I work in Wixom by the way.

Iroc'nthe87 · 03-12-2008, 12:07 PM

Yeah i know that place.

Jigga2142 · 03-19-2008, 04:32 PM

THE PLACE WHERE THE RAPIDS R GRAND (grand rapids lol) is here

89ROCDROPTOP · 03-29-2008, 09:36 AM

I knocked the dust off earlier this week. Still not ready to get past the driveway. Winter sure is taking its time leaving!

ragtop69gs · 03-29-2008, 06:27 PM

Hello fellow Motowners,

My name is Jay and I live in West Bloomfield.

I got a few parts from a 1988 GTA I'm looking to sell or swap off. I do not own an F body so I figured maybe someone here can put them to good use. I got them as part of a parts trade.

I do have a 1969 Buick GS 400 convertible, so I'd trade for parts for any GS from 68-72. I also have a 1947 Diamond T 509 body I could use some parts for. I also could use 12 bolt chevy parts.

What I have to offer is a '88 GTA front bumper cover in nice condition, no cracks and has the parking lights still attached.

Also a factory service manual S-8810-F for same car. Comes with the Electrical Diagnosis Supplement S8810-F-ES

I can take pics or you can come see.

Jay

Anybody take their rides out yesterday? I know I was one of the first to on my block.

ACCLR8N · 04-08-2008, 11:33 AM

Just a few more pieces to put back together. Was nice working in the garage last night with just a t-shirt again.

MP81 · 04-08-2008, 04:16 PM

Took mine out on Woodward Saturday, Sunday, yesterday (took Woodward to work), and I plan on it tonight as well.

89ROCDROPTOP · 04-08-2008, 07:48 PM

I should be ready to bring it out in a week or two. I want to give the potholes time to fill in a little...

ws6transam · 04-17-2008, 08:52 PM

I beat up the asphalt with the tires on Monday and Tuesday, actually. 45 degrees + sun = serious tire smoke in second gear. No traction on that cold pavement. I washed it, put it away and got out the motorcycle . Wow, I haven't been on TGO in over a year! Imagine that.

Well, welcome back then!! I don't think you will have too much success with 400 whp hooking on the street though....

TADailyDriver · 04-17-2008, 10:47 PM
