Sucks, but that is another reason i love these cars, i can get another body for peanuts. Good part is, my Trans Am will look sweet with these wheels.

I will be throwing the 6.0 in the 86 TA, as well as the 12 bolt, should be interesting, 4.30s and a TH400...i think i will need a real cooling system after that.

Frame is bent and for what it would cost to repair if even possible, i can get a roller, so i will be in search of a factory manual trans third gen, straight, and then do a 4.8 with a ca, and the 6 speed, 7800 RPM, and be able to get better fuel economy, just for the hell of it, i just dont need a 6.0 daily driver these days. Heck, i was putting all the street trim back on the RS anyway.





Car went consistent 7.1s in the 1/8th with a manual trans, so with the right converter, although a heavier car b a bit, im sure it will pick up, if it ran the same, it would still prove a manual is better right? LOL

Nitrous converter will be needed as well.

 

Brother how did it happen?

 

Traffic shut down hard due to street sweepers on the exit to 59 from I10. Did all i could to avoid the rear of a Ford truck, got a piece anyway, all because i sped up to let a 18 wheeler over from the left exit lane that needed to continue east. See what i get for being courteous? LOL

 

Ouch! - Looks like the hood is repairable, and like you said 3rd gen rollers are too cheap to screw with fixing much damage.

 

Yep, found a 5 speed v6 91 RS for 800$ just browsing that would have been a great replacement, but it will have to wait.
