blue interior and carbon fiber turned out sweet...only complaint is wheels...maybe polish or powder coat????

whered u get ur seats done? i must of not seen that in ur build thread

 

Filled in the antenna and front/rear marker lights? I like it, looks really clean!

 

...

 

...

 

I think the wheels look nice on that bird

 

...

 

thanks yeah. gonna black plastidip my perfect golds black gloss this spring bi love the wheels it has but want a change and hate the stock golds. it's so 80s BMW to me as I had a TA back then and actually disliked the GTAs then cause of that and they copied my monochrome 86 Ta that I took the tape off. see my pic on the left of it

 

...

 

biased opinion lol

granted i like em powder coated black after urs...or polished like others

granted not too many agree with my wheels on a bird

either way didnt mean to distract attention from the rest of it...his detail on the car has been A+++

 

Wow! Just spent the weekend going over all 31 pages in this thread!

@Copchaser: Would love to see a picture of your ride from the back! Must see how those fat tires looks from that angle!

 

here is what mine will look like after I swap rims
this is another members car I almost bought but couldn't get ahold of him. and I wasn't patient enuf I guess but happier with the 5speed though l! I wish I could of bad his license plate though. I will get historical plates this January with the custom kept forever and only pay like 15 for the plates and never have to renew them. she will be 25 in jan. all 88s will. happy birthday girls!

 

Hey whats up 1Bad. Black looks awesome.

Here's 89 GTA, Bought in FL and had repainted ... working on interior stuff now, love the car runs great 61K miles.

 

Luis, I think your car would look KILLER with a set of silver GTA wheels.

 

Funny that you say that! I have a set on my car that I am going to let him borrow while he is getting his wheels refinished. You'll have to post a pic of it for us Luis when you get them on. BTW Luis, you can take them whenever you are ready since I am not currently using them

 

I like the Gold,the Interior and the wheels compliment each other

 

...

 

 

you got a sweet white bird there man nice miles too!

 

i am one who can dig that

 

88camaro -->

didnt want to start new thread but wanted to show some updates of TA

what started out as just to replace ac and radiator turned into this lol:


then: (oil pan and rockers on now)


and just today: (before and after...sanded engine cross member to paint silver soon)

 

what size motor is that

 

350....out of a 93 truck...converted to roller

 

Rain delay in my build so i thought i would post my latest pics... heh
Now that the interior is done and am in the middle of a T56 swap, i decided to do an undercarriage makeover. She was getting pretty darn fugly after 30 years.
Before...

Almost done...

 

^beauty!!! What paint u use

 

I scrubbed the oil off and sanded it down and then sprayed it with rubberized undercoating. The fuel and brake lines were cleaned with steel wool till they shined 'pretty easy', the brackets and screws were just cleaned and painted. For the exhaust and the trans i used VHT header silver. Am now moving to the back but then had the rain delay. I have a Spohn trans mount/torque arm to throw in there, 3" aluminum driveshaft and the rest of the suspension/chassis pieces are red powder coated as well. I started grinding the rear end so i can get that painted and install a Proform perfect launch girdle. It's just a 4th gen 10 bolt but it has a aftermarket auburn posi 3:42 with moser axles, c-clip eliminators and, disc breaks. With the rain delay though am stuck indoors playing Drag Racing on my tablet. I built a 10 second Trans Am in level 4.... yeeeehaaaa

 

 

@kitt_me killer ride.

We interrupt this awesome thread to show you the @$$ on this bird

 

well I guess i'll get in on this with my latest one. car details are in sig

The day I bought her:


And after cleaning up some:

 

I picked up my '91 Trans Am GTA from the body shop Friday evening and it now has a fresh coat of paint. I still need to put the emblems and side moldings on. Here's a small teaser for now and I'll have soon good pictures soon.



Loaded up and ready to head home.

 

That looks really nice!!!

 

Thanks! I can't wait to get the Eibach Sportline springs, KONI struts and shocks installed. That hideous wheel gap has GOTTA go!

 

Especially on such a nice car. Looking awesome dude.

 

...

 

Thanks, guys! I'll have some professional photos done some time next month probably.

 

 

I love your car! Is that an '84 front fascia you have?

 

Thanks Carlos,lovin your car,what color code is it? Yes I have replaced the front grilles from the 84 TA,it gives a cleaner look,the 82 grilles broke

 

Thanks! Color code? Black... I dunno what the code is. I told my painter to make it a deep dark black so it doesn't look washed out when the sun hits.

 

Carlos,
Been wondering if you got it back, now I know! Left you a message on GTA Source a while back.

Car looks great, can't wait to see more of it. Did you get the big GTA wheel made?

If you need me to take care of your WS6 I'd be glad too, after all, you need to get the GTA together...just trying to help a brother out..

 

My 89 GTA

 

LOL!!! Thanks for offering to take care of my WS6. No, I haven't gotten the wheels made yet. I'll get those done eventually, but it's not my main priority right now.

 

i will be doing the same after motor build....drooling!!!(ps you have my vote for COTM...last min change didnt know ur on march ballot till now..impressive work all-around man...congrats!!!)

chriswenk, what blue u use??? beauty!!!

kitt, usually love the grilles but agree on cleaner look, looks good!!!

86T/A, nice find!!! already looks better with just some shine!!!

 

Here's mine I just picked up off a former member on here. Plans are, half a coil out of the front, and i have shiny new alum heads, a performer rpm intake and a good old Holley 750, Hurst quarter stick shifter, a couple pillar mounted guages, and that's about it. Very excited to be here, even more excited for summer to drive the wheels off it.

Of course, it would appear I'm internet challenged and can't post pics...

 

And how the heck do i post big pics like the post above?
Thanks!

 

Welcome! Nice car.
You can use a picture hosting site like photobucket or flickr. I use my own web site to host usually.

 

Hmmm, using "tinypic" as its the only one I know how to use lol....will keep trying to figure it out, oh and yours is incredible

I give up lol

 

Thanks.
Once you have the tinypic url then when posting you will see a little yellow icon above ^^ that looks like a mountain with a moon, click that and past the tinypic url.

P.S. 'url' means http address or in other terms, web address

 

1986 TA, 48k original miles

 

Looks Great!!!Another 86 TA,they keep showing up and they are looking really good.
