That sounds pretty good. What I planed on doing was renting a truck at home depot or menards and going to a pull it yard and just grabbing most of the stuff at once.

4t60 swap?
Does that need a kick down cable?

Re: 1989 Beretta Base Michigan
They didnt list a transmission. It just said If i was going to use an auto I had to grab one. Im not a trans person so I have no idea.
EDIT: After looking it up, I found out I only needed the kick down if I were to keep the 3 speed auto.

Re: 1989 Beretta Base Michigan
That is a good idea that could save me time, but I am already doing alot of research on this swap and could just do a little more research and still get to use plan A. I have alot of time to find this information out because I dont plan on starting to collect parts until next year when the snow starts to melt. That should give me plenty of time to solve this little problem.

I just found some GTZ wheels for 20 a piece at a local yard with a 12 dollar core (I forgot to the mention core). Going to pick them up tomorrow. I think they should look sweet body colored.
edit: The wheels were pretty beat up when I found them. I knew I was going to buy them but the yard was close to closing time so I had to stash them under a different car. I went back at noon today and they were gone along with the car I stashed them under. But there is a silver lining to this, There was a new row of GM cars. One of those cars was a 1990 gt. I have been looking for a sunroof bag since I bought this car and I just happened to find a mint one in the trunk. I grabbed it plus the clips and at checkout the guy just let me walk out because the bag was categorized so basically it was the price of admission. I will post picks later.

At LKQ (U pull it junkyard). there was a core of 12 dollars also so they basically were 32 a piece. I didnt mention the core because I have wheels in my back yard that I was going to use as a core.

Here is the sunroof bag that I got for free from a yard.
(BTW my GF took the pics using her blanket as the background and the red glare in the first pic is not actually on the bag)

I lost my job a month ago and have been looking for work ever since so the project gets put away for a while until a gain some funds. I have even went to fast food places with no luck. Its a good thing that i planned on this car being a long term project. It feels pretty good to be back online here.

Re: 1989 Beretta Base Michigan
That would be my problem, not trying hard enough.
Poor old girl needs a cover, but only if it has alot of wax on it. I've seen covers freeze to the paint.

Re: 1989 Beretta Base Michigan
Yeah, my girlfriend found that out on my dads 05 Mustang, you can actually see it in the background before the cover went on.
