Updated pic of my 15th Anniversary TA
I've had it 2-3 weeks now and the guy that sold it to me left a few things out, but they are minor!
It has a very small oil leak, either valve cover or rear seal!
I just fixed a leak in the carb where the fuel filter goes and replaced the fuel filter, evidentely someone had put a small fuel filter in there, the replacement part the store give me was twice as long and it fit perfectly, the one in there, the spring barely touched it
Anyway, no leak now
The Electrical System was a mess, the rookie that installed the radio really had things crossed, fuses would blow, fuses missing, etc, but I fixed all that and all power options work, including the power mirrors
I have a few things I want to finish fixing up and few small motor mods I would like to do, but mostly she will stay stock(I'll post in the appropriate forum about advice on my mods).
It has 48,200 original miles and from all my mechanic buddies this appears to be correct!
This is my first pic since its mine, I don't drive it much, but sure looks good in my garage

That's one of my favorite anniversary birds. Looks like it's in good shape. How's the interior condition?

Thanks, interior is in very good condition, no cracks in dash or console, carpet in good shape except for a tear almost right under the drivers seat.
Recaro seats( passenger and back) are in excellent shape, the driver side has a small crack in the leather and the Transam writing is wore off?
Anyone know where to get some original material for these with the Transam writing, I have a recaro cover for the drivers seat(it came with the car when I bought it), but no TA writing on it
All gauges work, I just need to fix the slide cargo cover mounts!

I guess they did paint the door handles from the factory, the pic on fbody motorsports where they sell the decal kit has the door handles white
The door molding did not come blue, I had the color of the decals matched with one of them paint machines that tries to match your color and I had them painted blue to match the decals, thought it would stand out a little more, I knew I could always just remove them
After I compound and wax it so the original paint will shine more, I'll post some better pics in the sun

very nice car, I've never seen on with colours like that before. I like the white rims and the white interior pieces like the steering wheel and ebrake handle. can't wait to see some more pics!
