IMissMy86TA

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!

IMissMy86TA

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

iTrader: (1)

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

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

Jupiter

iTrader: (1)

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

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

kitt_me

iTrader: (3)

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

carlos64030

iTrader: (1)

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..

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.

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!!!

bygddy

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...

bygddy

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

Jupiter

iTrader: (1)

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

bygddy

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

Jupiter

iTrader: (1)

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
