I don't think you're going to find those anywhere. I got a set a few years back and the said I was luck to find them anywhere in the states.

Nice GTC. Unusual to see a tan top on a white car.

thanks guys!

yeah, I have always loved the fixed headlight front end. I got backed into a month ago by a dumbass paper lady, so I decided to do the swap. her insurance company paid for it anyway, well....they paid me, and I did the job for 30 bucks .

As for the color of the top, I have only seen one other in the white/tan. I wasnt the a big fan of the combination when I bought it. I was kicking around the idea of white/white, but the tan has grown on me and Im going to keep the color when I replace it.

thats what I thought Do you still have em? I have a decal guy by me. If I could get a copy of them maybe he can make me some.

wow thats a cool gtc forsure.
I honestly like the hidden headlights.
What kinda spoiler is that? I might be buying a white t2 GTC convertible with a body kit on it and it doesn't have a spoiler.

That's a P-body(Shadow ES) Spoiler. I've been kicking that idea around since 2000. I've got one already, just never mounted it. I was affraid of the sides hitting the quater panels and rubbing the paint off at highways speeds due to vibration.

Since that time I've come up with a slightly less agressive option that I think will have a nice visual impact....gonna keep that one under wraps unless I see somebody else do it before I get around to it(may have already been done, but I've never seen it!).

Just picked this one up today.
85 GTS, Clean, like a time capsule.

Its a P-body one like reaper said. I had one on my coupe and it rattled alot, but this one fits alot nicer, no rattles and it nice and tight.

what body kit does the T2 you are looking at have on it?

I did a lot of spoiler test-fitting at the junkyard and had considered this option as well. I had the same concern though, the sides of the spoiler vibrating and causing an issue at speed. I had come up with a much better spoiler option at the time. I think it was off of an Infinity or something. I actually found it laying in the back of a truck. But it fit the trunk perfectly, had the right angle, and was even the same color as my LeBaron at the time. I ended up passing on it because it was cracked pretty bad in the middle. I never did figure out for sure what it went to.

Hey fellow j-body guys! i have a question, and i'm sure one of the admin guys will get mad at me for posting it here! However, where would be a beter place to ask a tech question about a j-body? i have a 89 coupe. 2.5 n/a car. (will post pics soon! )someone has been into the steering before and it's all jacked up! they put a v/6 rack and crossmember in it first off, and in the process broke the bolts that hold the crossmember. so they just welded everything up solid! they were hacks! so here is my question: have any of you with a ZF style pump replaced your lines before? i want to make sure they have not changed the pump out also. i ask because my books at work show the ZF to use a banjo/bolt type fitting on the pressure side. my ZF pump has a SAGINAW type screw in fitting on it! can anyone verifi if this is the correct pump?
