Late graduation present!! Ok guys there was...*key word* WAS, a tradition in my family that once you graduated u would get any reasonably priced car you wanted. Well that not the case with me. Since '05 Ive had my dads 89 GTA with 24k miles, but since I didnt want to drive it much I bought an 86 TA, then I found a deal I couldnt pass up, a 98 TA that went to hell and is being brought back. I got it in October in '08 and I worked on it most of the winter, then it sat until I got a job to pay for the paint thats being put on it right now.
Progress will be updated every or every other day.
Enjoy
1st from the body shop:
Wait.....what, Formula??
Hatch and Hood
Then painted
Then a sneak peak of it almost finished

I don't know much about prep and paint work but from my little knowledge on subject, I thought they should've at least taken out all the lights,(tails, side markers, etc) the door moldings, weatherstripping, idk maybe I'm wrong???
