Default The Ol' Thirdgen

Well I'm bored, with the winter blues, stuck inside with a foot of snow. Lookin' at pics of my thirdgen I drove in high school. I miss it, even though it was slow

Back when I bought it...

Few months later me and my dad cleaned it up a little...

After:

Senior year... as I'm pulling in the parking lot, little miss sophomore pulls out of her spot not even looking up. ...



Isn't that great!

Planned to move to my dad's, for me and him fix it, bought rims, $500 wing, new bumper, tune-up, AC, exhaust and ****. Spent a lot of money. Planned to swap in a LT1/T56. Definitely had the F-Body fever now. My employer had a major lay off early, and I'm one to go. No more LT1/T56. But I could still fix the damage and make it look nice.

Moved up to dad's. Started working on the car.

Then, as I rip out the interior to do some dynamatting, I discover plenty of this...


So I said **** it. Started looking for an LT1 M6 car, and found this



Went and picked it up, threw my ZR1's on it the same day... (WS6's are going back on though)



And here sits the ol' thirdgen, waiting for an LSX...(and new floorpans and a sandblasting and suspension and interior and paint and ... pretty much everything.)



The End

Dig the car, miss my Third, but I say get the Formula/TA spoiler on it! I'm jealous of your sidemolding though, I tried finding a full ground effects kit for mine forever with no luck I did get some GTA lights, but they weren't the 91-92 style, but the older ones, took some re-wiring but my friend is a genius and they worked perfect, and looked great. Also got GTA snowflakes and painted them black, but never took a pic with them on

This is shortly after I got it


Video from my crappy Kodak Digital Cam from a 10mph pull with a 3.5" Mangnaflow "race" muffler and my built up 700R4

I later went with a Flowie, was just too loud haha. Sounded very aggressive though! And I miss that trans :\

make a 91/92 GTA clone with the LS1/M6 swap. Your car already has the ground effects (sans formula/ta spoiler). Good luck with both cars!
