Possibly parting 89 TTA
Hey all,
I am about to head out of town for the week. I picked up a TTA this week in pretty neglicted condition. Long story short I don't think it makes sense to fix the car up. It had been hit and poorly repaired in the passenger quarter and drivers fender. The car seem to be fairly complete.
I am debating between parting it out or taking the guts and putting it into another project vehicle. Let me know what kind of things you could use off this thing.
I will be online throughout the week to respond but wont be able to get any pictures or anything up till Friday.

Hmmmmm, maybe find another 1989GTA Trans Am? Reason for a 1989 I don't know if you have smog laws and what they would be.

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
it's just really beat up, its been hit, a few times. It has been poorly repaired. It would take a lot to make it nice again. One that has been well kept can be had much cheaper than playing around trying to get this one correct.

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
Gotcha. Same in my case, except it's been hit plenty of times and repaired poorly. People say it's not worth it, but nuts to them!

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
id love to but unfortunatley im overseas right now...
Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
Its a shame stuff like this is worth more in parts than complete. 80% of 3rd gens need random body parts and paint. Shoot I wouldve bought it if it was closer. Of course it would be awesome to spend the money to make it nice again and you may have been able to buy a nice one for cheaper, but it looked like it would be a decent driver with a little bit of work.

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
...Core support is cracked, bent and been pulled a few times, underside of the car is hammered - rust in the pans - some nutjob jacked the car up from everypoint except the correct spot - it has a major stress crack in the passenger quarter panel with lots of bondo around it, there is a bit of rust in the car from what I am finding... It would have needed a ton of work to be a descent driver. The car sat for 5 years in the same spot outside. 

Good luck, try selling the roller after it's stripped? Race car.

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
Interested in the rear. Could you meet me in Texarkana? I live in Central Arkansas and could use the rear in a 92 convertible Z28. allen.bray64@yahoo.com

Re: Possibly parting 89 TTA
I know you said the interior is a bit rough, dare I ask how the headliner is? How about the sail panel covers(interior). I would assume they're junk but it doesn't hurt to ask.
How about the front rims?

Those pieces are all junk on the interior. I am planning to reuse the front rims for another project.
