1988 GTX Restoration - Going To Be Fun!

[slownrusty]

So yesterday was a big day, for us owners in the U.S. I finally received an "Antique Plate" for my GTX, which means I renew once every 5 years and no more annual safety, emission or inspection tests. And I only have to install the rear plate only (no front plate). She's 30 years old and looks fantastic!

Note the "B6" on the plate! Awesome.

Thank you for asking, yes, I fared well during Hurricane Harvey...fortunately no issues and no water.

so may i ask where you get your GTAE bumpers from?

[slownrusty]

Sure!

One came with the silver car when I bought it as a project from the previous owner (out of Nor. Cal.)

The red came from Piotr in Poland.

Had some time this weekend, sanded, painted and installed the GTAe top hatch spoiler that I recently bought from Piotr...this is what it looks like compared to the standard US Spec..it has an elevated lip at the back presumably to assist with downforce?

Finally mounted! Ram horn stainless manifold from Neukin, GT28RS from Pure Turbo and mock-up of the new intercooler. Today I'll plumb the oil and water lines for the turbo and start laying out the new pipes for the intercooler and the 2.5" stainless exhaust.

those manifolds are awesome!!!

Turbo upgrades are 100% complete, its nice to get the car back together. Total time was 8 weeks.






This is what I started with, when I bought the car in July of 2014 for $2,750
