This is my formula project, just thought i'd share my good luck with you. LOL, i bought this car for $325, changed the oil and swapped the old gas for new and drove her home, (sideways of course!!!!) Supposedly has only like 40,000 on the engine/tranny she runs really,really good for a 305tbi/auto.
I've already put a set of old torq-thrust?? I'm thinking maybe 200S's? wheels on her. I'm not doing too much more over the winter other than accumulate parts to do my project. I putting a Trans-Am front clip on with full T/A ground efx and rear bumper. I am going to change the interior color to light grey with 4th gens seats and console. I am getting a set of 16x8 black crosslace gta's for her
. I am making a "sunday driver"
out of this car so I am going to leave the engine pretty much stock other than delete the smog pump, full 3in exhaust with headers and borlas, and lt1 cam. probably 3.42's maybe 3.73's I am also doing a manual swap to a 5spd (305 shouldn't kill it) . I have just run across sucha good deal I can justify modding it the way i desire.
Sorry for the long post! post your opinions on my thoughts thanks, brad

wow....great find man....i went looking the other day to see what i could come up with cause im looking around for like a 91-92 formula.........its getting really hard to try and find these cars.....most people now dont really want to get rid of them...i might find someone who wants to though. Nice find man.....and good luck with your project....post pics and let us know how its coming along.
TorchRay, yes the 91-92 formula's are hard to come by around here. I'll keep you guys posted. Hopefully it comes out well. I've weighed my costs on fixing this one up VS. buying a decent trans-am, and i still think i'm going to do it just because the formula runs so good. thanks for the support

I have a set of formula rims and tires for sale. The rims have no scrapes and the tires are good. They are 255/50/ZR16 BFG's.
I am asking $325 for the set with lugs,lug covers and centercaps.
I live in the Chicago area.

That's a pretty good deal on that set of rims, but i just got rid of my originals. I just don't like the style of them, wanting some gta's. Thanks for the offer. bradOriginally posted by formul8!!
