ill let the crooked headunit, loose seat covers, and broken tail lights slide because its a 5spd
Seriously tho it looks like a solid car, just a few very minor things u should fix. Check a junkyard for taillights, they are everywhere.

The pod for the a/c radio has three of the clips brocken
,
my local junk yard wanted $90 for a dirty pair of honey comb lights. I thought it was too much.
It's been about 1.5 months since the spring install, and their still breakin in, getting smoother each weekend I drive to bakersfield from the san fernando valley. I want to get better shocks / struts to improve the ride, definitly feels it could be smoother. -- WHen I did install I left the insulator out becuase the old one wasn't in any condition to be reused, and I haven't been able to get another set, plus I was told the there's not susposed to be an insulator on the rear end from pep boys.
my doors jump up and down when I go into a little pot holes or bumps.. anyone else get that ? I replaced the pin and bushing, im thinking about the locking mechanism inside door maybe.
nate- still got that louver with your name on it.

Well mine were a birthday present, and they match the car being red in all. .. yes I have used nos, the octane booster nos's brand octane booster.. but I know that doesn't cut it. ha
I dont know how high the top center part of the wheel wells are from the ground, but I'll measure this weekend for you.

I would never get anything with a label on it that I did not have, such as NOS floor mats. Even though I like the look of them, I don't have NOS and never will (cheater juice) so I will never have those floor mats, just like I would never have floor mats that said GTA or Trans AM, because my thirdgen isn't one.
Not bad car you have there otherwise.

I had to choose between the NOS and the XR-Racing floor mats for my car....got the XR's because I didn't want anyone to be thinking that I had NOS...lol.. My friend had the NOS ones in his 84 non/nitrous T/A...they did look pretty sweet.. I didn't even want to get the stupid r!cer XR-Racing mats, but they were a decent price for the pair, matched my color scheme for the car, and were HEAVY rubber...not like those light rubber and fabric craps that fold up and get under your gas pedal.
Hey, anyone wanna buy a set of blue XR-Racing floor mats??
Pulled them out before I sold the car. If the woman had to get my car, she sure as hell wasn't gonna keep my mats too!
