Well I caught up with blogging now, so this is the status as of last week. All the GFX are off and all the support mountings have been removed. I still have a lot of welding to do but I also took the front bumper cover off, the impact bar and the front fenders.

Took the spoiler off this April, as I don’t want the areo wing and am going with the standard Firebird spoiler.  Welded the holes shut, and just gave a shot of paint just so it wouldn’t rust. Also you can note that I was almost done with taking off the entire GFX.

These are the 82 TA Taillights I picked up. I took them apart and cleaned them and I also repainted the “PONTIAC” lettering in Silver again as it was faded.

Well last fall I started taking off some of the GFX and I wanted to see if I could save the passenger side fender, but after I took the GFX off I figured it would be better and easier to just get a set of new front fenders, which I did this February.

Well this was my TA back in July of  ’09. At that time I rebuilt the front end with Spohn parts, swapped the wheels for 15″ just cause I will be changing to Turbo Cast rims and I didn’t want to buy new tires for the 16″.

Well this was how my TA looked like on the weekend I got him home. This was last year in April, since then I’ve done a lot of work on it and I’m going to use this site to show my progress, I hope you enjoy.
