Post My TA is almost ready
Hey Guys

Been here for a while and have posted here and there but figured I'd throw up some pics now that I have the car ready for the road. I bought it last August drove it a bit and then parked for the winter. I've done a fair bit of work over the winter. Headliner, shift boot, rebuilt the console, restored the steering wheel, new spoiler, redid the sunvisors and then there was paint. I got into paint correction with this car and spent probably 30-35 hrs taking all of the marring and fine scratches from the paint. The pics are from yesterday waiting for the appraiser to arrive. I still have to have the TDS sub frame connectors and lower control arms put in but it's coming along.

Very nice GTA!

I love those cool "Star Trek" head-rests.

Some might go as far as to say I'm biased, but I love the colour too!

Thanks guys. My porter Da and me have become best friends. It's amazing how you can change paint just by using professional tools and compounds.

"Bright Red" is also the same colour GM used for the 4th Gen Camaros and Firebirds.

It really pops! Specially to the radar detectors.
