joedirt your car almost looks exactly like mine it looks good. if you have troble with the head light motors you might want to try to rebuild them i did and now they work great! by the way my car is also a 86 T/A with a 700r4

I just ordered the headlight rebuild kit from http://www.topdownsolutions.com. We will see how well that works to fix the problem.

I think every used thirdgen on the planet comes with busted headlight motors.
