|
|
I found an 89 GTA that was absolutely loaded. Leather, 9 bolt posi, 1LE brakes, everything. Guy started to part it out after his son got locked up for 8-10 and it sat for two years.
It was missing the t-tops rear spoiler and front bumper, and I talked him into taking 400 bucks for it! Score!
I fear kinda bad taking such a nice car for so cheap but its in much better hands now!!!!!
Found a bumper and spoiler but steal need some headlight assemblies and t-tops. Help?? _________________ '89 GTA - '91 z28 - '66 Impala - '98 Burban - '06 GSX-R |

You may also consider pulling the pieces that receive the pins on the body (where you adjust them). Not all T-tops have the same size pins. _________________ 92 Camaro

thanks for the tip on the pins, and the pics will be up as soon as I get my camera back from the warranty fix lol.
Anyone know the best place to get some spacers for running newer offset wheels? I need top quality but dont want to pay so much _________________ '89 GTA - '91 z28 - '66 Impala - '98 Burban - '06 GSX-R |

If you are talking about running 4th gen wheels.. You need 2" adaptors. Get them from Skulte.com, I got mine from him, they are top notch. |

If I were to have the 4th gen offset wheels, Skulte would be my choice too. You may be able to find cheaper, but you may also skimp on quality in the process. I believe this is one area where you get what you pay for. |

Check ebay for some spacers. I paid $60 for a pair for the front of the ol Chevette. They were just fine quality. Most places use billet aluminum. Can't really mess it up. _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

i got some t-tops they are from a 92 camaro, they would probably only be good for temporaries tho cause they leak a little bit, and they are scratched up |

Ditto this guy.
If my 4x4 bird can run ebay spacers, your bird will be just fine running the cheapies! _________________

Just have to ask....
he wants to run an aftermarket wheel, right?
Did the thing come with the 16" Crosslaces when you snagged it? If they did, what color are they? _________________

I understand both views on the spacers, and yes it had the wheels on it, but I already sold em to my best friend ( and our fellow member charli6178) and on the t tops I appretiate the offer but ima go for a permanent purchase being that I'm planning on keeping here a long time and Im not in a hurry to get em with the crummy weather _________________ '89 GTA - '91 z28 - '66 Impala - '98 Burban - '06 GSX-R |
