Default My 97 T/A Project

Well its time to get to serious work on my T/A. I posted a few weeks ago in the introduction section. Since that post I have removed all the interior for cleaning and floor pan rust repair (not done yet). I got my donor engine cleaned up, probably going to repaint my valve covers. Anyways I moved it into the shop this evening so I can start the engine removal in the morning (engine has blown head gaskets). I am also going to drain the rear end, my RPO code shows a 2.73 gear. So I want to see if it has been changed, it has a leak so it needs to be done regardless. I am hoping to keep good details and photos of my progress

I really don’t know. I looked around but found no branding marks or anything. I got the engine out Saturday, I’ll post some pictures a little later

Is that purple a factory color? My 97TA with full bolt ons was a fun car.
