Re: Post Your Red Thirdgens!
This was my car 10 years ago. The paint was a couple of years old at that time, still looked good:

I sold my car back in 2007 and the new owner put these god-awful seats in:

Bought it back in 2009, drove it for a year, then decided to to a full restore on her:



And some new seats to go along with it:

Hope to have it done by spring/summer of 2013!

Since I haven't gotten the car back from the body shop yet, there hasn't been any new posts in a while, but I am going to try to keep a detailed journal on it. I have never done a complete restoration like this before, so it should be interesting....

Here is my 1991 Formula 350 Showcar. It was just featured in the October 2012 issue of High Performance Pontiac magazine. The finish is original with 61,000 miles.

Re: Post Your Red Thirdgens!
Thanks guys. If you noticed, it has the GTA taillights with BORLA dual dual exhaust tips. They only made 1,197 Formula's with the L98 option. Those Black Diamond Spoke wheels were a NO COST option that most people were not aware of and were only installed on the 1991-92 Trans Am's.

Re: Post Your Red Thirdgens!
Here is some better pics of my 88 Trans Am WS6. Main body color is off a 75 Trans Am and the secondary color is gunmetal grey. As soon as I get another aero spoiler it will go the gunmetal grey..

Re: Post Your Red Thirdgens!
Just picked this up last weekend. 1989 IROC-Z 5.7 TPI and I love it. The seller threw in a brand new in the box headliner, new factory fog lights, stripe kit, sail panels, visors, emblems, and a brand new dash pad. All for $4,000 The bad.. paint is faded, front end suspension needs attention, exhaust needs work BUT NO RUST ANYWHERE.. the glove box codes say it has a 2.77 rear end and it feels like it. All the gauges work. The seats were in good shape but I'm going to use them in my 92. Today I installed my mint 2001 Trans Am seats and they feel awesome.. black mint interior. I'm going to paint it Nissan Cayenne Red and lower the front. Other than that it'll be basically stock with a borla exhaust system.. Stone
