Finally got a Bird!
Well, after keeping an eye out for a parts car for my '87 Z-28 I found this beautie on the interwebs. Ended up paying $2300 for it. The bird needs a few things, paint for starters, a little tune up, and the interior needs to be redone. Other than that, I'd like to put some larger rubber, and some Spohn goodies down the road.
It's a 1989 GTA, t-tops, 5spd, LB9 car. Picked it up last night, gave her a quick wash, and buffed it up as best I can today, tried getting her cleaned up and ready to go. sadly I wont insure it for quite a while, seeing I'm headed back to work on the 6th. But I kinda want to change out the fluids, and give it a good once-over before i start ripping up the streets in this bada$s bird!
Before anyone says anything, yes the fender badge is in the incorrect place, and yes it is a true Y84/WS6 car
And some pics are edited to see if i like the stance of it lowered.

Re: Finally got a Bird!
Thanks guys! It's in pretty decent shape, but still needs a few odd things, biggest this is the frond end. I need to replace all the steering components, I'm getting one heck of a noise every time i hit a crack in the road. Luckily I haven't found a crack in the frame yet, so a "wonder bar" is going to be on that list as well. We'll have to see how much cash my fiance lets me spend on this thing lol.
