sup guys

i have been browsing the forum for a couple days and i'd like to be a part of it. I live on the island.

anyways, my project car is a 88 gta convertable. The 383 is sitting in the shop and the car is torn apart. I'm looking to swap the T5 for a T56. Heres a few pics of the car just before I pulled the motor.

My daily driver is a 88 s10 with a 11.5 compression 350/nv3500/ ford 8.8. No quarter mile times yet.

yeah adding a vert to the firebird lineup was a good idea, but changing the nose...not so good

i like the late 80s style...with the 2 rectangular fog light cuts, 82ish ones are too bad either...but the 91 era ones are groosss, the big teardrop shit, looks so retarded
