Im sorting through my pics and making a cardomain.com page. That site is pretty nice.

As for pics of the bonneville, I have a set of rebuild picture on www.picturetrail.com , and my member name is 87transam. Just type my member name in the box and I have two albums. One is my bonneville 400 rebuild, and the other are a few other pics of the T/A.

Thanks for the compliments!!!

all I ever see on this board are nice GTA's. If I keep comparing them to mine I'm going to shoot myself.

no one else has holes through their cars body. no ones wheel well arch is cracking into two pieces. my rims factory coat is peeling like ****. the interior center piece is almost all apart. the wing is cracked to ****. my t-tops leack. the engine is beat to hell. my front body kit is off so that the fog light doesn't match up. the fog light also hangs out by the wire. my heater core leaked into my passenger side and the engine almost overheated. my water pump decided to purge itself and coolant went everywhere. my door bushings are shot and scratch the skirt. the skirt itself is cracking slowly coming off of the car. the underbody has bent metal where idiots tried to avoid the downpipe while lifting the car.

and I think the **** goes on. overall my cars worth like $2000 or less and I paid $6000.00 and now I'm kicking myself. always check out the car before you buy it. or you'll be forever pissed like me.
I should have never bought that gigantic piece of crap.

sorry for being so negative but I felt like venting.

simon.

Have you seen my car? I'll show you a pic that shows a rust hole through the side of my driver's side rear quarter panel. That should make you feel better. Now you can compare your car to mine. I do hate having to compare my car to all the nice ones.

yeah that looks kinda crappy. my lower quarter panel is plastic so no holes. but I was under the car and the bolts holding it on are rusting to crap. now inside the wheel well behind the wheel and all around there are holes through the sheet metal or whatever its made out of. I've checked out tons of my buddies 3rd gens even from 85 and they don't have holes like that. my cars had 6 previous owners and I'm going to hunt down the ones that drove her in the freaking winter. she was built in Van Nuys Cali. I don't think they get snow there so that's not something she was designed for.

it all just pisses me off that there are people out there with no respect for their cars.

Some people such as myself don't have much money, time, or space to make our cars look as good as we want. I have to pay for school and such.

true.

personally I'm going to sell my gta very soon. or as soon as possible. I will get another F Body though, one that's in a lot better shape than my GTA.

I'm going for an Iroc this time. It must have the L98

I just feel bad that I can't do anything for my GTA. If I could I'd rebuild her from the bottom up. or maybe I'll find someone that will do that or is looking for a project car. give her a good home or so hehe

anyways.

From that pic it doesn't look bad. You can't really tell unless you can see it in person. When I get a real job after I graduate college, I am going to get my engine rebuilt, then bodywork, and what ever else needs to be done. Until then, I take car of what I can here and there.

Ill put the address below. Oh and Freeze, I also made one for the Bonneville. Check them out when you get a chance and vote for them. Thanks again for the compliments.
