Incredible pics of the GTA
Had a relaxing spring break - working on the GTA with my dad. We got alot fixed - remounted the 4th gen seat belts, fixed the temperature control door, installed a new windshield washer pump, and applied a good coat of wax.
On to the pics...

By the way - I'm thinking of redoing the suspension (got a few squeaks here n there). Would a new set of shocks/struts raise the car any? I love the stance and I know it's got original suspension parts and WS6 springs.

hot damn a windshield washer pump! lol sorry had to give ya a hard time about that one. Its always good to get some father/son quality time, i dont get much of that anymore. In fact im starting to pay rent at my own house now...im 19. I must store car parts in my basement room only, and no oil on the driveway...gay.
Anyway car is looking great, has an awesome shine to it.

It could if the stock struts/shocks arent de-compressing correctly(worn out). Like my gf's shocks on her car when i compressed them by hand(easily) they wouldnt go back out unless i forced them lol.
Squeaks are most likely worn out rubber bushings.

hot damn is right. I haven't had working sprayers in like 6 years
When you always keep the car clean...you don't use them all that much. I figured my dad and I needed something to do. I don't get to go home that much anymore...that's what I get for being still in college. I'll check out the bushings...I thought I'd had alot of them replaced last time I did some fixes.
That shine is thanks to Zimol and a tired arm. Thanks

Nice, very nice.
Mine is the same color, I just wish the front end was shiny, and it didn't have all the little scratches, and the clear-coat wasn't coming off in several spots.
