Here's some updated shots of my GTA. I finally got done with the suspension and braking upgrades. Hotchkis Lowering Springs with Koni Yellows. C5 Vette Brakes front, PBRs rear. All kinds of UMI goodies underneath. Also finally found an '87 GTA steering wheel, and a 4th Gen refurbished CD Player.








There's been a lot of work getting her to this point. Got some more plans for it, but I've got to get caught up on my 454 Suburban first. I'm trying to get it ready for a big road trip in August.

looks amazing dude COTM is yours soon haha

 

Haha, well thank you! It's been hard to get work done on it with the other stuff I've been doing, but it really is turning out the way I wanted it to. I'm just dying to get the 6-speed and Vortec engine build done right now. When I do that, it'll be getting new seat covers and carpet too. Should be really nice then.

ugh 6-speed *drools* i want a T-56 in a bad way haha

 

Car looks awsome Levi!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks Karl! You ever get that cam put in?

I'm dying to get the T56 in, it's sitting in my laundry room floor right now collecting dust and spiders, haha. Unfortunately, without a lift or trans jack (I'm nowhere near a base with all the good stuff right now), I'll probably have to wait until I get to flight school to get it done. Oh well, should give me enough time to save up for a good rebuild, a nice clutch, and an adjustable master cylinder. I've been wanting one for a while.

 

Not yet, waiting for my Superram, ignition & maybe some heads. Got a fully built liw mileage 700r4 with a converter cheap. Also got 3:73 gearing. Im just waiting for everything to come in, so I can do everything all at once.

I would love to get a T56, someone us selling one here with a swap kit for a Thirdgen, just dont have the funds at the moment.

 

Heres some shots of my project, now that the motor is rebuilt and back in it I need to start work on the body so I can paint it. Going to red from the silver, already have the underhood painted.

 

Took some new pics











Cheers

 

Hey Kitt_Me,how much is gas in Dubai???that 82 TA looks real good.

 

Very nice GTA, love the rims. What are those? They go really good with the car imo.

 

Well I get full tank in $20

 

A few better shots with the new wheels.

 

just a shop of what I want to do with my bird.

 

^ I like the second pic, but I'd leave the Formula hood, love that hood the only hood that looks better on a 01-92 is the ram air 1 style hood.

 

Yeah, I like the second one better too

 

Here's mine after I wrecked the front end and did the 350 swap, Gonna be painting her this summer!

 

Very similar to this car:



I'd say go for it. The honeycomb wheels in the correct backspacing on a 17" rim would look amazing on that car. Shaker hoods have been done successfully on a 3rd Gen before, and that too looks pretty good in my opinion, when done right.There are some threads on how to properly cut the hood and modify a 2nd Gen shaker to fit a 3rd Gen. There's quite a bit of fab work involved, but it looked pretty sweet when finished.

Only thing I'd change is to go with the earlier style phoenix on the nose, like the 70-73 cars had. The earlier style bird would go much better with the look you're going for.

Dude those rims are sweet. What kind/style?

 

I finally figured out what's been bothering me so much about your pictures. Your headlight doors are way out of alignment. Have you tried to fix that yet?

 

Thanks! They're original C5 Z06 rims off a 04 Corvette.

I've got to make some new brackets, I did a pop-up headlight delete and still have to re-measure to make my final brackets.

 

If you don't mind my asking, where did you end up putting the headlights?

 

Under the headlight doors

Here's my build thread:

Taken a couple of months ago.

 

LateNite, that's a clean looking bird you have there. Nice.

 

Latest pic of my Formula. Hood and front bumper need a new coat of paint. It pains me to see the rest of the car so glossy, and the hood and the front bumper so dull...

 

@cal30_sniper: Thanks!

 

updated photo. cars lowered and new rims.

 

damn, in owning my car for 10+ years, I don't EVER remember getting a tank of gas for $20, even when gas was "cheap"!

 

That's a sharp looking ride!

 

Hey man, sorry I missed the post before. They're BMW M-Parallel rims off of a 760 series. 18x9.5" rear and 18.8" front with 275/40/18 rear and 245/40/18 front.

 

So,USA pays about 3-4 times the amount for fuel.Only In America.

 

 

Owned it for 3yrs and a half til it got rearended and totaled. alot of good memories with this car.
