After a year having my car, I finally got out to get some decent pics of my 84. Man, gotta represent the early Thirdgens. But hey, any thirdgen rocks.

This is a pic outside of Oakley Headquarters. I'll post two pics now and the rest later.

 

Another shot from the Oakley HQ. Those houses in the back on that hill is my hood.

 

Whoa, that is one bloody awesome building! It's rare to see such unique architecture....eh, at least around here it is.

Car is looking quite gorgeous as well!

 

 

Looks great man! Not many of the early ones (especially 'birds) lurking around here, nice to see another fine example!

Yo alex, what's the scoop on your 1983 Delorean? oops I meant....

 

One more...

 

Nice t/a, it looks very clean.

 

get rid of the bra and lower the hell outta that car . those rims look awesome, ive seen them on mecham tas and they look great when the car is lowered.

 

I love seeing the early birds represented. How well does the car "breathe" with the front grilles covered up?

Good looking car. Neat looking building too.

I can hear your door hinge pins scream with pain "Close me... Im sagging"

Awesome bird !

 

^ LOL!

Yeah, I'd get rid of the bra but the nose is in sad shape, and with the bra on it has a tendency of heating up.

But I've been thinking about lowering the car for sure, say, 1.5 inches?

 

Wow I4 f-body! Does that small engine even move that thing LOL! rare none the less.

You're not the first one to say that...

 

nice to see a early year bird...but the bra covers up the best part of the 82-84's, the front grilles! very nice car !!

 

Looks good. I had an 83, i'll always have a soft spot in my heart for the early ones. And yeah, ditch the bra, a nice bumper with the grilles really brings out the mean look of those years. Need some center caps for those rims too... other than that, she looks good. This is the only remnants of my 83 TA below...

yeah, I guess they're getting a bit rare. Production wise they made a bunch of these little bumble bees. It can barely get out of it's own way but when it gets up into the higher gears and speeds its pretty good. It has a 3.73 rear in it which helps slightly. The motor has seen better days though. Im probably going to just rebuild it. I want to keep this oddity odd.



I like that pic of the chopped rear of the 83 ta sitting on the floor. That is pretty cool. I guess if your going to junk the car might as well make something fun out of it.

Want a darker color? Black. Here's my old 83. And FYI, 3 picture max post up for a thread. Check the FAQ's thread for other rules.

 

My my, that 83 is a beaut. So you don't have it anymore? Please don't tell me u totalled it or crushed it.

 

Yeah, she was my baby. And no, I didn't total it, someone else took the pleasure of doing it for me. It was parked on the side of the road in front of my friends house in his neighborhood, and a girl ran into it head on doin about 60 in a 25 zone. 9K of damages, total loss. So now i'm startin over from scratch with my 86.... I miss my 83 though...

 

Nice 84

My 83 came with nearly the same wheels.

 

Here's one for all you nose lovers out there

 

Nice car 1tinindian!! Thats exactly how my '82 T/A is going to look!

 

Ok everyone has seen it, but I guess I'm gonna have to post it in this thread too =)


Hey Stingraye you should make a couch out of that...it would be awsome.

 

I plan to, just don't have the money for all the materials right now, so it'll stay as a place for my dirty clothes until I get the time to do it.

 

well it's mostly an 83 trans am... some 84, 87, 96,98 mixed in there 2 ;-)

 

I think the early thirdgens and the best looking in my opinion. They just seemed to reinvent the wheel to many times on the later ones (85-92), even though they gained performance that the early cars lacked.

 

nice car u have...except for the wing...and black scoops(paint em body colour)

 

Stingraye :hail:
SC82TA :hail:
man those are sweet
these and 91-92 formula are my favourites
simply HARD CORE looking :rockon:

 

Here are some pics of my 1983 S/E.
I have '85-'90 TA bumpers and '91-'92 RS rocker pannels
that I am still prepping..... still....

But enjoy!

 

Another...

 

Last one...

 

Here is my 83 T/A. The secret to motivation is .......drop in a bigger engine! Now with 350 roller block, zz4 cam, pro action heads.

 

As I've always said.... There is no replacement for displacement!
