Default old TA pics (front end swap)

I had a few people ask me about the swap we did on our old TA

Bought a 97 Mystic Teal TA from carmax with low miles and did a swap to an updated WS6 look. We had all new OEM parts for the swap so we repainted most of the car. It was a basic bolt on conversion. I also added the WS6 wheels. I traded this car to get my current SS
here's the car before the fron clip was swapped (we already had the wheels on)



after




progress pics





I wish the pics were better, but it is hard to take good pictures of this color. They never come out the actual color. We also used to have a 95 TA this color.

Nice! I wonder if the current owner is rolling around thinking he has an LS1 under the hood and wonders why he keeps losing to other stock LS1s

In 97 it was called Mystic Teal - that's what the paperwork said and the paint codes.

Tony, a guy from our shop bought the car and it is now a piece of crap. It's a shame that we still have to see it and it's not taken care of

thanks for getting back to me on this and posting up some pics, I really appreciate it! Looks like the conversion turned out really well, I would love to do this to my firebird sometime, just becomes an issue trying to ship over the parts. Sorry to hear that the car is now a piece of crap, by the way your camaro looks awesome! love the way you have done the pipes at the back, definitly an eye catching car, would be one in a million overhere, thanks again mate!
