Default Couple pics of the 1998 TA...

Just took a couple pics, been doing alot of little stuff to it and finally wiped the dust off. Needs a little body/paint work, but its for going fast, not looking good.

I'm selling the Z28 because I've gotten very sick (cancer) and need the income since I can't work currently. Its the most expensive one, so it goes. My 99 SS is still fully loaded and more stock than the others, so I wanna keep it for more of a driver. The TA is cheap and quick. If it comes down to it, I'll sell another, but I'm hoping to recover and get back to work again.

Trust me, I don't "want" to sell any of them. Hell, I'd like to add more! Not that I have any room.....

I hope everything goes as well as possible with your cancer. Your health is much more important then a car. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Do you have an fquick?

I've been busy on it, I tell ya. Did front drag brakes, took headlight assemblies out, new tranny cooler setup, new seats, swing outs, timing tuner, rewired everything, sealed battery box, aligned, wide band, new switch panel, new harnesses, wired bottle heater, etc. Got a little more wiring to do, hoping to run it this coming week at the 1/8 mile track.

Tranny cooler is right behind it. I gotta redo it, its rough. We're gonna repaint the fascia anyway, it'll get smoothed out then.
