Looks great.
You will have to define what an "arm and a leg" is to you.
I think all T top and door weatherstriping costs an arm and a leg, but you may be in a higher income bracket than I am.

Re: Restoring my 82 T/A

Why would you "update" the look of a 30 year old car ? Third gens look so good they don't need any exterior mods :P I agree with the rims though

I wouldn't have added the W62 ground effects though, and the rear hatch trim would look better in black. Any more info on what you did ?

I think if I had an '82-'84 TA, I'd repaint it black /gold. Those car colors are rare and always have been. I have the brochure for the '84 TA and that was one sharp looking car.
