Re: Guys, I finally did it!!!

Nice, I got my formula a month before I turned 16... Make sure you take good care of it, and don't take too long to fix things, little things add up, and before you know it, more come and you end up like me, spending $500, and many hours of time getting it all better. I am not just waiting on a starter. Nice Camaro by the way, I really like the color!

And if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pick it up for?

I hear you. Sometimes the deal is too good and T-Tops go out the window...

Where did you get it?

$800. =D Don't worry I will take good care of this car. I've been looking for an IROC for the longest. And now that I have it, I will treasure it.

Not really bothering me like I thought it would. The power makes up for it. =D

I picke dit up in the Bronx. Saw it last saturday on Craigslist just before I was going to leave the house to buy a 89 Supra Turbo. This car was on my mind the whole week. I thought it was gonna be sold before I got to it. But luckily I kept pestering the guy and got first dibs on it this morning.

Re: Guys, I finally did it!!!

Major bump.

Well today I devoted a few hours to stripping the GTA wheels and then sanding the aluminum a bit. Got them looking good. Now I just need to polish them and paint the inlays gold.


Also, I decided to get a little sideways in my backyard. Popped the bead on the R/R tire. Had a GTA wheel installed on one of my new tires. And put it on.

From this.


To this.
