Hi and thank you for the info / pics. I wish i had the tag but the trunk lid looks to have been replaced at some point and doesn't match. That is why i am trying to find out.

I have an 85 T that came factory black. Someone painted it to look like GN trim. If i wanted to restore the factory look, does anyone know what that is? Any pics of one to follow? I.E. chrome bumpers, moldings, etc.

A little late but My 2c. Coming from an era where i grew up around these G Body cars, i had an idea of what they were at the time. It wasn't until i joined the military and bought an 87 SS that i knew exactly how special the GN's were. As much as the car you are interested in may be nice, i...

Brian at Gbodyparts actually helped me with this one after destroying the first 2. What a horrible pain this was. With a new grommet you have 2 issues. (1) Getting the grommet in : Place one side of the grommet against the hole holding it with a large screwdriver. Take a second large...

ah ha... well i feel foolish :) For an 86 aren't the badges wrong on this car?

Found this on ebay, someone selling a T as a GN. Asking good money too. Mismatched fender trim, badges, etc. Vehicle report shows it a T-Type. http://www.ebay.com/itm/231100005615?forcerRptr=true&item=231100005615&viewitem=

Wonderful. Well if all this help is true then i will certainly entertain the idea of keeping it hot air and joining the rare club. I do like the modified setup the one gentleman had with the IC on a hot air. I know Brian at GBodyparts told me about this kit for around $1500. But for now its a...

Raleigh, NC. I wont be digging into it until next year. But when i do it will be heavily until it is running again. As i said the mechnicals aren't an issue. Might have to poke around for some used parts and good deals.

He does sell some nice stuff, i just wish the pipe was affordable. Its exceptionally expensive. But i guess there is allot of money in R&D and considering how little of a platform he has to sell on. Guess we should be happy enough that he is willing to develop these products.

Well reading the comments and opinions i think for now i am going to keep it as is and take a stab at rebuilding the engine myself. I will get the necessary machine work done and buy a rebuild kit. Some people say it ultra secret magic and others say they have done it and its no different than a...

Great responses, thanks. The reason i said not worth restoring is because i think its honest. You look on ebay and the best example T's are worth half of what a hot air real GN goes for. I realize i am not going for resale but i use it as a gauge. It is no less expensive to restore a T than a...

Again thanks for all the responses. Keeping it hot air doesn't do anything for me. I even have had thoughts of scrapping the car and buying one that works. We will see. The issue is i bought it sight unseen on ebay because the pics looked good. Turns out allot of rust underneath and in poor...

I didn't see it answered so wanted to ask, what LS1 maf? There are many years no? Got a link? Thanks for the great info.

I wanted to make the point that although i would love to tinker and get my car perfect and i appreciate the help, there are allot of people i have seen on here basically saying "i figured it out, you figure it out". That isn't what i a would hope to see. I may be a newbie on this forums but i...

So.... i bought a set of these and like others said they look very nice. I do see one weird thing. At all of the flanges they are welded on at the size of the tubing except for one that is scrunched down some. Why would they do that? IE if all of the tubing is 2.5", this one particular one is 2"...
