Interesting to note that it is wearing GN seat covers and spoiler, and an '86 grille. It is a striking car, though, no doubt about it.

VERY nice car to see in person to cool dude to that owns it

Thanks guys! I worked hard myself on this one...took her from a 4 thousand dollar beater to what she is today! All bodywork/paint done by a friend and I. Thanks Jim, I wish I could go to Cecil more. I really liked that track. Anyhow...seat covers? They are new from Jax...my old ones were ripped all to hell...The chrome on the grill was cracked so bad I just sanded it down and painted it the same color as the rest of the trim. I like the all black no decal look. More pictures coming soon.

Very cool to hear you put the work/money into making it nice from being in beater condition... So many are quick to just part 'em out when they are like that so it is refreshing to hear somebody that cared enough about the car to make it nice!

Yup it was hurrendous...plus it being an 86 (which I dig more myself than the 87's) I had to have this one...it was in the right price range at the time. All it took to get her running right was a spring cleaning, alot of vacumm hose, and a welded driver side header she was purring like a kitten. Then about a year later the body work started....let me tell you it was not easy at all but with as sharp as the car looks and the amount of compliments I get on it. It was worth every moment. I get people asking me about it every single time I go out. Its got some old school mixed in with new school with the wheels and most people seem to like it. I could go on forever talking about it lol. But I've got about one more month overseas and I'm coming back home to her. TE60, A new trans from Bruce is in the works, and the PTE intercooler...should be a quick ride.

Bescurred your car is sweet.. But your brothers is sweet too, since I am a bit particulat to white-t's. See link in my avatar" I never thought those AR wheels would look good on a T but after seeing them on your brothers they look very good. Looks like he is running a 15" wheel. The grey centers really loog good against the white.. Also did you have to run adapters or spacers to pull of those ZR1 wheels?

 

[Bescurred]

Nah the wheels are made to fit G-bodies from SLP
