Looks very nice. Tell us the backstory and what it was like when you started working on it

Re: 1985 T/A resurrected and almost ready for the road

Bought it last winter,the one day it did snow,good body,interior wrecked,under hood and exhaust a mess.

Replaced most all the interior besides the door panels and dash pad which were in very good cond.;fixed a couple of floor issues,all new exhaust,cat back system,new y-pipe etc.

Put on a pheonix graphics kit,exept for the hood chicken,haven't got that far yet,new brakes all around,new starter,fuel pump,brake lines,fuel lines,speedo drive housing,lotsa little things and trips to the parts store and a guy who parts 3rd gens in Mass.

A few details left,I'll drive it this year,next year all new seals/weatherstripping and stuff like that,my kids think they are getting their hands on it but they are dreaming.

Thanks,it's an old school look for sure but it's what I wanted,and the rims were only $20 each before re-painting.

It needs a set of B.F.Goodrich Radial T/As with the white letters to be perfect,it's registered now,I've put almsot 200 miles on it since thursday,it's doing ok for 10+ years off the road,had to fix a few fluid leaks and adjust the timing a little.
