Default New guy in VA

Hello everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Mike and I live in Newport News, VA. I recently purchased a 95 TA after my daily driver(2002 Hyundai Elantra) was totaled. I have been in love with this car since before I could drive and I can finally say I own one. The car is a 6 speed with T-tops.

The car does have its problems but I will be fixing each and every one of them and bring this beauty back to its former glory . The two biggest issues it has is a dying rear end and a transmission whose 1-2 synchro is almost gone. Fixing the rear end first since that doesn't cost as much but am saving up money at the same time to get the trans fixed/built. Anyways here are a couple pics.

Also forgot to mention the car was almost bone stock when I got it(as far as performance mods). Only two things it had was a Borla catback and K&N air filter

Well....you prob aren't gonna like this but I would rather have a different color lol. I bought it cause it was being sold fairly cheap and my check from the total on my previous car actually covered buying it. But the silver doesn't look bad, I'd just prefer something else
