New Addition to the site
Hey, I've been reading up on site for a little over a year, learning alot, and looking for a car at the same time. Good news is I finally found one.
It's a 89 GTA with the 5.7L, and auto tranny (of course)
. Black on black, t-tops, lots of power options, etc, Still a very stock car. 170,000 KM, only summer driven. So it's pretty mint, it turns alot of heads. There isnt too many of these cars in Canada, so I'm glad I found one this nice.
As you will see in the pics, there is no third brake light on the deck lid, and the rear tint is bubbled and sagging. I will be fixing those problems soon, along with a few others. I also did not paint the exhaust tips gold, so don't ask.

The car has fairly new seals on the t-tops and hatch, and comes with a Viper alarm. The tires are Eagle HPs, which I think are pretty good for now. The paint on the car is about a year old, so its still very shiny.

The pics had to be cut down from the original size, they look alot better at high res. I've got them if anyone wants.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks for all the compliments guys.
As for mods, I plan to start with intake and exhaust, and I know exhaust has alot of options, so it will be a challenge. The previous owner took out the cats, so that's a start I guess
