A New Canvas
Recently sold my 92 for something that was 100x cleaner. Thankfully it had been recently painted so i and started with something great. I wont be doing much but i am going to make it what i wanted my 92 to be. New car is an 87 GTA.

Probably one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to these cars.
At some point whoever owned this car after the door was cut replaced the sending unit. its brand new lol. When i remove the tank for the new pump i will weld this shut.

Dropped the car off at fischer auto body to get the fiberglass spoiler color matched and the flaking paint on the roof fixed. Hoping all goes well.

 I like the sign Idea. If only it was shaped to seal, that would be really cool

So was the car originally red? Or someone painted the floors? Or something else?

Coincidentally both my GTA's were originally red. someone painted my other one black. According to the PO of this one, it was painted Gunmetal in 2015

Had a friend of mine notch a spare kmember that i had for more oil pan clearance. I drove three years without a notched K and it held up fine but this is just something i would feel better about. 1.5 in was removed from the back.

Got my harness back. I had it converted from plug and play for my 92 to plug and play for my 87. "pocket" on thirdgen.org or jon glasscock on fb made it. He does great work.
Car is done at the body shop. the spoiler isnt ready yet though. Picking the car up monday to get the sfc done. motor should be ready to come out next week.

Spent some time wire wheeling the kmember. Soaked it in RUSTBLAST and rinsed it off. Ready for paint.
