For being in high school you are doing a great job. This hobbie is like racing, nothing is cheap about it. Once you are done though you will deffinatly have something to be proud of driving around. I wish you luck and keep us all updated on the progress. Again great job on the car!

Hi Jarrett, looks like you have your work cut out for ya... Nice body work, I have no paint/body skills what so ever.  

Say, if you have any of the origional turbo parts laying around, maybe we could work someting out.  I'm looking for manifolds and any other motor items that may be of interest.  I'm building an 82 TA with the turbo engine out of a 1980 turbo TA.

Thanks,

Paul B

that car is beautiful,  i love the slick black T-Top.  If there was one thing I could change abuot my '79 formula, it would be the blue paint to be black like yours.  that's bad-ass not gonna lie.  Post pics when you're done!

Nice work Jarrett, keep it up and you'll have a great ride. The best part will be when you say "I did it myself!". And it's not another rice grinder, like so many kids today are building.
