Well I recently sold my 2000 Trans Am "Blk Betty" and am going to finish building my 68 c10 ls swap truck, but.....decided to get another project car to tinker with as well. I've had a few third gens in the past, but I've always wanted a GTA and recently was able to find one for a pretty good deal.
Car is 1989 Pontiac Trans Am GTA and is equipped with the L98 350TPI & a 700r4. The GTA has all wheel disc brakes, pwr windows and locks. I figured I'd use it every now and then and once I finish building my truck, Ill be doing an LS swap to this one as well.

Here are some pics of it in its current condition as I bought it.










Ill post updates as I mess around and replace things on the car.

I need to purchase new door locks, does someone know the best place to locate those?

I don't know about the door locks, but it looks like a nice solid car.

Thanks esc, I was wondering, will a 4th gen aluminum driveshaft off an a4 car directly bolt onto my 3rd gen?

Probably. A lot of third gen guys run 4th gen drive shafts.
I believe that A4-> A4 is a direct fit.

But not all 3rd gens have the same length drive shaft...so you will need someone that knows more about than I do to tell you for sure.

Thanks for the heads up.

Finished putting on my centerline warrior wheels, just torn between having all four centers plasti dipped, or leaving them polished.



Also ordered a new aluminum distributor cover cap that I will be polishing along with a spare plenum and runners that I had laying around.


also got some suspension goodies for the car. BMR relocation brackets and Founders tubular poly ended lower control arms with new mounting hardware.


Here's a pic of the new Hawks third gen fiberglass wing that came with the car.
