First detail of the season

Finally had some time over the weekend to clean up my t/a. Turned out ok for 28 year old factory paint/decals.

Thanks for the compliments. I do like the recaro seats too but finding parts for them is very hard. Even the interior parts for this thing are quite rare because of the color.

Re: First detail of the season

Since these are essentially the same rims but with more of a dish, I was thinking of picking up a set and getting the centers powder coated to match the originals. Detailing the bolt sections and making exact copy's of my original rims with blue Pontiac lettering. Unfortunately my blue rim decals had to be removed so I could polish the aluminum, Opinions?
