getting my old 90 RS together

Thing is, this is a heap, i took what i needed from it for my 89, sold it to a friend, and as you can see, it was down hill from there, he removed parts and never put others on, then he moved, needed me to hold it for him and 3 years later, i told him it was time for him to pick it up so i could clean the yard up. Well, he said keep it, do with it as i will. What do you know, i wanted another project, but then i got ym wife the 03 trailblazer with the 5.3, leather, the works and now she doesnt touch the 86 TA i built for her, so i have my 89 RS that i drive daily, here 86 TA that was a daily with a cammed 355 vortec, so who needs a third project? Not me, so i put this hep on craigs liust advertised with everything to make it a straight ride and guess whay, one buyer backed out and now no other hits, i got the hood a while back so i threw it on there to sweeten a deal for anyone interested, but so far people call wanting to trade a POS stock hood and 100$ for my 4 inch harwood.

Screw that, so, i pulled this beast out the back yard today, installed some manual roll up doors that dont sag and are straight and the red interior from a 91 RS that will be hitting the scrap yard soon, the fenders will go on soon to make the car pretty straight and fix the dinks. Then i might paint it after i primer it while i am at it, i have 2 extra gallons of silver, so 2 tone, silver and black like the scheme on my 89 should help it sell. Going to try to sell it as a rolling body that doesnt need much other than a drive line.

But, this is all for the sake of my new company i started, so this is just to show you guys what i am doing with my spare time. I thought about installing the 355 and 700R4 from my 86 TA to sell it running, but i would want too much for it(4500$).

Hope it finds a good home, thats for sure.

Will do, has a long way to go just to sell a rolling body. But, it is no biggie, i would just rather be doing other stuff, but this cool weather is just so easy to work in.

Good to see another car be saved from the junkyard...it breaks my heart to think that these cars can't all be saved.
