I had a 91...which listed at 100hp I4 but it wasn't even that much. haha I did my time with that truck and in 99, I sold it and got my first Brand New Trans Am!

ahhh...the good ol' days. Picked it up from the dealership and didn't stop driving it for 24hrs. I put 700 miles on it the first day! haha

headlight motors, sideskirts, taillights, paint.

I think it's a cool pic, if you intend to hold onto the car for a while. Always good to look back on old pictures & see how far things have come.

Yepp thanks for the compliments guys. Had to order a new side skirt in the mail and just got it. Keeping my fingers crossed that the car gets in paint this week or next. Already have the tail lights done. Still need a headlight motor. Will post up pics/video when done. Not too much capital for mods, but it will be able to keep up with the way it looks!

Your jacket looks like it's too small.
You look nice though, and looking forward to seeing how your car turns out.

Not out of a 91 lol. My grandparent's '90 topped out at 84 down a hill and it was a reg cab short box 5-spd. Took a couple blocks to get 40 out of it haha.
