Re: OMG, look what I found???

I am just trying to restore the interior right now. The exterior is sweet so I need a few parts to make her mint.

Re: OMG, look what I found???

Sorry,
It's an 89 RS, I picked her up last week from a local seller. Car has 125k, new paint, new clutch etc. It looks like the owner took pretty good care of her, just the usual dirty grey interior, bad door pulls, torn seats, broken seat belts, broken hatch motor, the usual stuff. I am almost finished with the interior just having a hard time finding the last few items.

Re: OMG, look what I found???

Another thing I love about Texas.....Looks like a typical Texas floor board! Just like the white 89 GTA I'm parting out. Clean floors, no interior, no rust.

At first, I thought I was looking at pics of my car!

Re: OMG, look what I found???

If I had the room, I'd cut the GTA into panels...quarter panels, roof, floor pans) and gladly sell those, but I have no idea on shipping anyways, on something like that.

I have seen so many third gens go to the chrusher but I have no way of cutting metal or any idea of the desire for rust free parts

Access to a plasma cutter isn't really a problem. Storing the parts in a 1/1 apartment is...

It's funny, I sold everything I had stored and quit because I sold my car. Now that I look back, everything I sold, or basically gave away I need right now

Just goes to show you, never ever throw anything away (or sell it for nothing) ever!! You WILL need it shortly thereafter .
