Wow in the pics it looks really good! That's really not bad for $500 you could probably part it after your done using it as beater and get some money back.

The front bumper is held on with staples? :agreed:

probaably the only rust free K-car in michigan lol

Ahhh, so this is what your GA looks like. I kept seeing you talk about the 5 cylinder mod on it, over on 60degreeV6. :agreed:

You gonna leave the outside as is? IMO, I'd nab some new headlights, debadge and clean up the outside to have a clean beater at least.

Also, welcome to the black GA crew, brah!

i want to change out the head lights at least. the pass side one is busted and sunk in

besides the front hood and trunk lid it's rust free. so if i can find a cheap trunk and bumper i may go a bit farther with it in the looks department

the bumper is also torn i will try to get better pics of the cosmetic issues tomarrow

Sweet.

Just bring up any issues you have with the exterior and interior issues, I've torn mine apart enough times. :agreed:

Very nice, I had that exact same model and color GA back in the day!!! :agreed:

Not bad for $500!

a guy from the local club bought the body though and put in a full L67 swap from his rotted out 97 GP

he is currently building an engine from the parts i had should be making 300+ wheel power when done

i take back the rock salt wieght reduction... the car is solid besides the trunk and hood... vary odd it only rusted in those areas
