Cosmetic mods are finished!
For now anyways 
Here is what i started with about 6 mths ago, She was in very sad condition!
Here are some current pics of my 91 TA with White pearl paint,shaved door moldings, and LS1 brakes on all corners behind 17x9 Chrome ZO6 wheels .... Round 2 will be getting some power out of the 5.7 TPI. I have already done suspension through-out and replaced all the steering components.
The black one is my other Baby These two cars are an extreme contrast of each other!
Thanks for looking!

Rides smoother than the 4th gen with Bilsteins and Eibach prokit.

The thing is, apart from the bra/brakes/rims, I can't tell the difference between the old car and the new in terms of appearance.. Ignoring all the suspension mods, mind you..
That said, the before pic looks pretty sad, and the new version is AWESOME, coming from a person who doesn't really care for that style of front bumper, and generally despises white.
Very impressive!

The car had a straight body when i bought her.... No paint was left under that bra, hood was beat up around the latch....broke headlight bucket and minor body panel misalignment....
What she is now, all it will get for cosmetics...i dont want her to be too flashy, as i prefer the slick clean look on the banshee cars... Sorry the pics dont show the work i have put into her, it was genuinely done with love for te car

Nice and clean. Good job on bringing back a GTA that would have been in the grave soon.
Just be prepared to get these words exactly from ppl on the street: "Nice vette dude." Try not to get too mad

Thanks for the info on the springs, I'll definitely have to look into those, as they look amazing on your car! I'm usually not a fan of white cars, but that one is absolutely sick!
