Sweet T/A
Are those Centerline wheels?
As for showable, hell yeah it is, I'd add 2 things tho, fill ins for the Pontiac on the back, and a chrome or silver bird for the center panel (but that's just me)

Ya the wheels are Centerline Aztecs. They are old as hell. I bought the wheels new back in 99 for a 99 Formula I had then, well when I sold the formula, I sold the wheels to my buddy who owned this TA. He bought this car new and it was always a weekend car. I bought it with 27k on it and its a 99. It now has 29k. Its been in the rain maybe 30 times its entire life and always been garaged. I will do some wheel repair on some minor lip grindage and then really polish em good. Interior is mint but the pic I took of the interior looks like ****. It makes the seats look **** brown, I think the flash caused it. Hell I will post it.

This pic is doing some funny **** to the interior. Other then minor color differences in plastic on the console, the interior is mint, never smoked in. Notice the lack of wrinkles in the driver seat... But the seats like they are **** brown but they are not really like that.

One more engine pic I forgot.



Ya I wouldnt mind changing the wheels myself, to something chrome. I HATE polishing wheels... WAY too much maintence. Thinking chrome Z06s but everyone has em. Not sure what I am gonna do. Guess I will just polish these up good and live with em for a while.

Your nitrous setup is pretty clean, overall it looks great.

Thanks fellas. I bought it with the nitrous kit already installed but it was major rigged so I re mounted/wired it and installed the window switch/purge.. Now I just need a 12bolt and some 4.10s and maybe it will actually run a number...
