Nice car. I like the power train choice as well. Different is good and the Ecotec is a rgeat motor. Nice choice on rims too. I have a staggard set of MParallels on my 79TA. I like them so much I'm seriously considering getting a pair of the 9.5" rims to put on the front so that I have the wide rims all the way around.
Here's my TA with the rims on it
