That baby sure turned out nice too Leon, Hope my 83 TA turns out as nice as yours. i just got a set of lowering springs(2"), struts/shocks, bushings, posi carrier. Oh and remember that gauge cluster mod you did that you told me about, well yesterday I finally got the gauge cluster sent out to be done. Thanks again for that help. Planning my body work to start soon and spray in September.
The level of excellence you show in the work you do is awesome. I hope the body work on mine turns out as nice as yours. I certainly wish I had your experience.

Re: My 83 T/A on its road to recovery
thats nice, you really tok some parts off to do it too, from looking at my car i can tel when they covered the original light blue mtallic with the purple it is now they rmeoved everything and i mean everything, they got under the door panels and under the door step plates and under the fan shroud and all but they didnt remove the bumper covers or hatch
im putting mine back to the factory original light blue
nice job,
i dont know how to do body work and level the body out like you obviously do, i will have to hire my neighbor who is an old retired bodyman and paints and does bodywork in his own little shop
