hello, i've been a member of the site for a while but i mostly keep quiet. i haven't posted much. i usually check out the latest trend, how to's and what my car has to compare to. i'm going to try to contribute more to the site, since my project is finally moving forward and i'm learning new thing to share so people don't have the same problems i have had. if it looks like i have done something that you are trying to do and haven't quite got it, feel free to ask me what i i did to make it happen. i by no means know every thing. but i do try every thing my self, it might turn out bad or good but at least i know what to do next time. my car is an 88' gta. my plan is to make it an all around car, street, strip, show, road course. it will. never be champion in any class (i doubt) but i will be able to compete and do a lot of different events and things. i am all about the daily driver that can do it all. i had a 99 vette with some bolt ons and n2o. 426hp 522tq, 30mpg on the highway, relieable, classy. ect... i'm out to prove to my self you don't need a newer car to to have all of that. my third gen will perform that task just fine. here are some pics of my car. i'm not so computer savy, so if they are ont showing up check out my photo bucket. there is plenty more work to do and i'll post as it moves along.

 

Did you mediablast all that rust before painting?

 

looks nice, welcome to TGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Aaahhh... I love a GTA. Engine bay paint looks nice.

 

well, i sand blasted it. it wasn't the best idea, and probably wont do it again. that stuff gets every where and could also warp the thinner sheet metal (so i'm told).

i'm working on getting the front suspension all put on right now. more pics to come later this week.

 

WOW that looks amazing! I cant wait to get my car painted again, because I will be going that route with my engine bay.

 

It depends on the type of media you use. I use glass and aluminum-oxide in mine, and havent had any problems. There is a blaster that uses dry Ice, and leaves no residue at all. The only downside; The price... 10,000.oo!!! LOL I want one!!!
