Awesome!!!...wish I'd thought of that when I re-skinned my seats!

 

It needs lowered and the finish is definitely starting to show some wear as it turns cloths red when I wax the hood and top, but it still shines up pretty well.

Eventually plan to have it sit low, I did these shoops but I don't think I'd go this low with the camber curves and roll center in mind. The wheels are a lot bigger and they're 5Zigens instead of the 4th gen SS wheels that are actually on it as well. So they're not realistic, but they are food for thought. It's not for everyone, but I really dig the s13 / ae86- eque stance and styling.

 

Nice seats! I have the same but in the ebony black cloth out of a 99 Formula. I had pretty much the same interior as well (not as clean as yours) but I swapped everything to black except a few items. I'd like to do something similar to my headreast only smaller.

 

looks mean

87transam, sweet interior u get ur tips yet????? btw didnt know till now u had the silver bird with torque thrusts on last couple posts

 

tips are going on next friday. il take some more pictures then too.

 

Holy bent seatbelt holder batman!!!
looks good but you need to get all up in the headrest to bend the metal bracket back into place for the dr side seatbelt retainer. Its waaay 2 far forward. Unless you like it that way I guess.

 

 

^lookin good

 

Here is my 86 TA project in the works well enjoyin it's ride for Sure. Cheers..

Another 1985,I need some different pics,and soon.

 

Looks good, are those the stock rims?

 

I like it...but I'm partial to red and black T/As! I lowered mine and yes, it makes them look a lot better.
My red paint, also original, rubs off too...I was told it was because red has a soft pigment. (??)

 

here is mine

 

^looks good have any side pics??? havent seen those wheels b4


wolfman painted hood already makes world diff

 

Great looking cars.

What's the story on yours Canadian Girl?

 

Not stock to the car,it had the standard aluminum factory wheels,but I had a 86 back in 1988 that had those rally II style wheels,I got them and color matched them to the car.

I had been looking for another bird for a while,either 2nd or 3rd gen,I had both when I was younger,I bought the trim rings at a flea market 2 years ago,I told my wife I had the trim rings,just need the rest of the car.

She thought I was going about it ***-backwards but those trim rings were the first step in a long search for a clean and cheap firechicken

 

maks10 Thanks Bro! Can't wait to get the whole car painted. but the hood doesn't look bad for $12 paint job. Lol Cheers...

Nothing wrong with collecting parts towards an end goal!

 

havent posted in a while but some proud updates...mostly repairs lol and ls1 rear disc brake (from drum) conv

didnt realize this till after conv, but should of went with bigger rotors bc of 20" rear wheels

but still happy with results...

 

a few pics of my 1990 formual, on c6 vette's and slammed on groundcontrol weightjacks more/ better pics will be up by monday

 

a few more of my formula

 

My light blue 88 is a V6 auto with 263,xxx mile- my daily driver (no issues!); My dark blue 87 Formula I just acquired with 5.0 auto and 91,xxx miles; and the wife's 86 5.0 auto Camaro with 160,xxx miles.

 

You all have no idea how angry I am with myself. I am in disbelief. I just ran my bird into my daily driver geo metro.

 

Ouch!! That sucks!

 

hit it hard too, damn man that sucks!

 

I have noticed bubbles in my paint.......I wonder how much my cousin-in-law would charge for a complete paint-n-body job. I jusat cleaned the area up, and I seems I am very lucky. My quarter panel is untouched...it it just the bumper that needs adjusting and paint.

 

Oh crap CB! Looks like the Geo wasn't as lucky. You can buff that out, right?

 

Ouch, atleast nothing broke on the bird. Glad you are ok...

 

I just cleaned up the damaged area and it looks like only the bumper and gfx will need attention. The actual quarter panel doesn't seem to have any warping or anything. Whew!!!! Will have my wife's cousin repaint it all for me.

I bought the geo so it would take all the damage instead of the bird and trust me, it has. I have so many door dings and side swipes on the geo from parking lots that I really don't care about that. It's the paint damage on the bird that i'm mad about.

 

Cb hate to see this man....but remeber it can be fixed!

 

Bird down!

 

Ha, not quite. But a big for me.

 

thankfully nothing's broken. (on the good car)

 

Um, photoshoot soon, k?

 

 

Why do people hide their plate no.just curious,is there a reason why.

 

just a more recent photo of mine, the cragars are no longer on the car, i got the stock crosslace on now, i just ordered center caps for them, the wheels were in good shape. And yes the front wheels are the back, and back on the front i used a wheel spacer. Clears the tie rods nicely

 

can track plates and see where the car is living and steal it

 

Can do the same thing at a cruise in or a car show....etc.


Never saw the need to hide my plate other than hating front plates on general purpose.

 

@1989formulakid what size spacer did you use?

 

believe it was atleast 1/2 in thick. id honestly have to take the wheel off to check for accurate measurement.

 

 

A few new pics from this morning-
