Have to say I love this site. I'm inspired by the work that you all have done. It's reassuring to find out that others share your passion

 

Here's a pic of my 86 TA when I brought it home and what it looks like now. Cheers...

 

1st few weeks it was mine




At a friends house


And at my wedding a 2years ago.

 

The is her coming off the truck when I first bought it:

About a week later I went back across country for school (after realizing trying to drive it to Florida from California in its questionable mechanical condition wasn't a great idea , so this sat to collect dust, so here it is a few months later the day after I got home for summer, after a wash and wax:

 

I do, there was one in this thread, but the side shot is showing a red X on my computer so the link must have broken:

Found it on facebook:

 

Thanks Wolverine!

 

Thinking of getting new rims?

 

Yeah, I'm thinking the 18s are too big. I love the regular WS6 wheels, but the other 2 cars on this site with the same color combo have those.

That, and tires are cheaper.

 

True if you decide to sell them Bette rims I'll buy em off you

 

Brought it home on 2-7-2009. Caught a 45min flight from Los Angeles to San Jose with my father. Drove it back home. Got the first "thumbs up" on the way back and got flashed by some chicks in an SUV. It was a great drive.



Present day

 

Day after I got her home, drive about 5 hours to get it and hauled it home.

 

I fell in love with a 1986 IROC when I test drove one new.i was 26 and broke as hades,but I thought ...one day. fast forward to 2009 when I found my car in a barn where it had been since 91.a fully loaded 86 IROC TPI and all! I had to move 63 round bales of hay,two tractors and a combine to get her out and on the roll back.

 

Heres some pics of the cars Ive had. First was a 85 I bought in 08 from a lawyer which was the worst mistake ever as the thing looked mint but a complete rust bucket



Next is my 89. Got it as a roller on a dolly car but is solid



Now im moving onto a 86 Z28 as I want a car thats all done by me including the paint as if you havnt noticed all of them have been red and im really not a fan of red

It looks like a basket case but its the most solid 3rdgen Ive ever seen

 

Day I brought it home.


Now

 

The night I picked up my '88 Formula 350. Engine, trans, and various parts in the bed of the truck. Not bad for $1500

 

The first F-body I ever owned- '88 Formula L03

 

Her names Monica. She was 2 grand and had 161k miles on her. A year later she still runs great, but is no longer as pretty following an accident.

1990 RS the day I brought it home

 

When I brought it home..


And last weekend..

 

 

In 2007:



2014:

 

hmmmm I would say a pile....

It was either i bought it.... or the crusher...

April 2009 day she came home



May 2014

 

when I brought it home that day.


and now

 

Day I traded for her. She still looks the same except the interior. Going through and fixing everything to 100% then worrying about cosmetics.

At the point of this picture she didn't run due to fuel pump, had bad valve seals, leaking vss, and a batch of other things.

 

Here are two photos of my '87 GTA the day I brought it home in March of this year. Also a photo of my former '91 Firebird when I first got it in 2005.

 

The day I picked it up.....

Here is my 2nd and Current 1987 Camaro Z28 when I picked it up....



And as it currently sits.

Those wheels really set your car apart. It's hard to find 1985-1987 Z28's like that anymore that are in good shape. GM made a lot of them and you really have to search hard to find one in that kind of shape now.

 

The day I picked it up at the dealer:

 

Thanks! When I went up and bought the car I had all intentions of removing the decals and now after putting the rims on the car and lowering it I totally changed my mind. Even my buddy who took the on photo who doesnt like 3rd gens and has been ragging on me all winter about it fell in love with the stripping.

Definitely hard to find them like you said. There is a twin to mine local (super small town at that) but he has it all gutted and cages for a track car. Was surprised to see it at a car show last week.
