got TOO good of a deal on this, couldn't pass it up. gonna make it my daily for when i go up to ATL for now, then i'll try to flip it once it's done it's got a *relatively* fresh 260hp crate 350 in it too.








most of you guys know, this car is currently NOT my style...someone PLEASE buy those wheels from me, lol! i don't know what you could put them on, but PLEASE! lol! also, i'm gonna be looking for either some GTA wheels or some Formula wheels...let me know what ya'll got. i'm gonna need a drivers side fender and front bumper cover too.

 

lol i was just about to say that your first order of business should be to get rid of those wheels...especially the back, they look so goofy sticking out so far lol

 

I have white formula rims on my car i may be willing to sell for a good price but i need to find a black GTA rim first. if you want pics i can send them.

 

i dont really have a use for new rims...im planning on fixing up my rims when i get a chance, repainting the black and re-finishing the polished aluminum....too bad its a daily driver lol

 

i might be interested. what we talking price wise and can i get some close up pics?

 

lol yeah, i thought that was you offering me wheels to try to buy some for your car lol...i kinda zoned out and didnt realize what i said until about 2 seconds ago lol...sorry

 

looks like a good find, and knowing you, you paid very little for it...LOL Congrats

 

Well id prolly sell the set w/ the WS6 center caps for 200? Or ill trade for 2 front black GTA rims w/o dimples or maybe trade for 1 black GTA front rim and like 100 bucks? the rims are in good condition, i just cleaned them today spent over 2 hours doing it to bring them back to the original white because they were a light orange from sitting for so long. 1 front and 1 rear rim do have some curb rash which was there when i got the formula. the right rear does have some paint flakes but nothing that cant be touched up. I only have a close up view of 1 rim right now. i can get more tommrow. If you wanna make me a deal as well go ahead and well talk.


right front?, you can see some curb rash bottom right hand corner of pic.



picture of them on my car

 

hey matt i know a guy selling 16x8 formula wheels. Has them on his ebay store. Not perfect but workable and possibly pretty cheap i'm not sure how much for them. strip the clear and clean them up they will look pretty good except for the mild curb rash/ding on the one wheel
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/82-92...QQcmdZViewItem

 

wow those ebay ones are incredibly clean!

 

yes, But look at all the curb rash and how the clear coat is cracking

 

they are ok. they could use some work but if the price is right, they may be worth it. strip the clear and smooth out the curb rash, reclear and it should look good again

 

ya, my rims were tinted orange and all pitted and after alot of wheel cleaner and scrubbing using an sos pad, they slowly but shurely came clean. They used to make my car look like crap cause they were so nasty looking but now deffinetly do give the car some justice. Now i just need to get the car painted lol

 

TADailyDriver...is your price with tires? also...any idea on shipping cost to ga? i gotta lead on a set of black gta wheels right now here local that i might pick up...i'm not really certain which would look better on this car right now...and those wheels being white will not exactly work for me totally as i'm thinking this car will not end up white...which means i'd have a lot of work ahead of myself to get them stripped and whatnot...

 

The have chrome runners w/ white inserts. ive seen them on a black formula before and look amazing!!! price is without tires and shipping should be around 70-120 bucks ups, depending on how they get boxed up. I would like to get a GTA rim before i sell them tho so that way i have something to put on right away seeing as it is my daily driver right now. I can work with you on price as well, im very negotiable. Im just in dire need of a GTA rim.

 

ok...let me think about it for a little while.

 

no problem mw66nova, im not really in any big hurry.

 

what about the crash damage? are you just leaving it?

 

Nice find. I'm with you, put some GTA's on there.

 

Nice car, great potential.
Agreed that wheels have to go.

 

what do you think?

 

this is why i ask

 

ah...i gotchya. i'm planning to fix the collision damage yes, but it's not very high on the priorities right now. i'm wanting to just get everything running correctly and get some suspension upgrades and wheels/tires under it's belt...then i'll start looking at getting it looking better.

just out of curiousity...what do you guys think about the hood? i'm kinda digging the stock flat hood, not many people have a plain jane hood on these cars...normally it's a GTA, TA, Powerbulge or aftermarket...think i could make this stock flat hood look good or should i just go straight for the powerbulge?

 

I would say powerbulge but I would also say do formula rims n not gtas im kinda sick of gtas lol

 

keep it all flat man!

 

that's what i'm thinking...been my style for a long time...and i'm gonna make sure it doesn't get a spoiler...i think...

 

Leave the flat hood for sure

 

exactly, its your style, keep it going

 

Matt... what kind of shape is the interior in? Looks good from the one shot I could see it in.

 

it's in OK shape. just a lot of little stuff to take care of. it's gonna need new carpet for sure...not sure i wanna keep the blue...i keep finding really good deals on fourthgen seats too...so i'm not sure i wanna keep the blue. we'll see though. the sun has played a serious tole on this interior too....all the plastics are faded badly and whatnot. the guy i bought it from had a serious system in it before and i need to pull all the wires and stuff out yet and see what i can see.

 

dont run too tall of an intake and filter.. long story, short.. i have a hole in my hood..

btw, hope the popups arent damaged from the crash... haha

 

one is...haven't tried to locate it yet...it still goes up and down and shines light, but it's fubard

 

i got a lot done yesterday.

-pulled the steering box off and found a nasty crack on the frame rail. welded said crack
-added all the extra little braces going from k-member and frame rail
-added iroc steering box
-added larger RS sway bar and poly endlinks (it's absolutely amazing how tiny the early sway bars were!)
-i installed an electric fan, but i think i fried the motor, so i slapped the clutch fan back on. getting a set of dual fans for it this week i believe.

i'm doing a tune up on it this afternoon. we'll see how that works out!

 

Nice looking project you have there. Keep it looking trimmed down. I kinda like the flat hood and no spoiler look.

Looks like the car has a pretty decent paint job on it.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

How much did you get the car for?

-bill

 

need to swing by with it if you et some time matt.

 

time? what the hell is that? lol! haha, i'm moving to ATL in 5 weeks...i got WAY too much on my plate right now....but i'll definetly try to make it over there before i get out of town so you can see it. hopefully i'll have a better looking set of shoes for it and lowered by then...

 

I have a fender and an ok front bumper (not good for paint but will get you by) from my 84.



You can have them both for 20+ shipping if its worth it to you. Or if you want to pick them up thats ok.

 

what's wrong with the bumper cover? it looks in ok shape...

kristin and i got a TON done today as far as the interior goes. we stripped it completely out, and i got to work on getting the radio working again while she worked on cleaning interior pieces. she's got this great OCD that just makes her wanna clean. it was an amazing day getting to hang with her and work on this car. the car definitely needs new carpet and all the rear hatch plastics are sun beaten badly. the seats could probably use new covers as they're starting to come apart due to sun damage. but it's nice to ride around in a clean car again. all four speakers were wired up through the amps that the PO kept, so i had to figure out how to salvage the hacked up stereo harness. got that stuff working well though now. i'm gonna need to find an 82-84 in the boneyards though as there's alot of little trim pieces that are year specific that need replacing badly. i'll try to get some pics of the interior cleaned up soon.

 

With any luck, me too.

 

Cant realy tell from that pic but it has alot of chips and it is deteriated alot. Might be fixable but i am not good at that so i bought another one.

 

can you get me a shipping qoute for the two, and then both seperately?
----------
really? what part?

 

I was going to suggest that, Leave the NO spoiler look, and the Flat hood.

Nice Score, Keep us Updated!

 

so i need to get a digi camera badly. my mom's crapped out and my dad "spent too much on his to let ANYone mess with it"...i'm 23 y/o and relatively responsible, you'd think he'd let me use his camera...eh, whatever...end rant, lol!

so i did get a little more progress on it yesterday. we slapped in my 3.45 posi disc 9 bolt rear yesterday. i need to get a new prop valve and master cylinder to get the full effects of the additional braking. for whatever reason, when i blead the brakes yesterdy, barely anything came out of the bleeder valve...i'm thinking the stock 84 prop valve is shot. anyone know what the story is on the threads for earlier and later years for the brakes? i know they're supposedly different...but i don't know what all has been done on this car. it might have an aftermarket prop valve in it. i've never seen one like this, it's cast aluminum instead of machined stock...anyone know about the early thirdgen brakes?

 

you should take pics of both cars together, when you get a new camera.

 

i really like the powerbuldge hoods. do you not like them?

 

You should use those rims for the track...or just grow a ******...hahaha

 

so i really need to get a digi camera on this bad boy, i picked up a set of formula's for it this past weekend. planning on lowering it possibly this weekend. i'll see if i can't get some decent phone photos of it tomorrow for ya'll.

 

Can't wait to see the ride with it's new shoes.

 

Northside, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs. Somewhere in there.

It's actually looking as close to a done deal but not yet one. I don't want to jinx it.

Where would you be moving?

 

eastside, Snellville, Lawrenceville, Decatur, but my girlfriend is moving to northside so i'll be up there a bunch till we get married, then i'll likely move to her place, lol!
