Here is Rock Auto customer car of the month. I gotta say it looks pretty slick.
This my 1992 Chevy Beretta GTZ 2.3L Quad4 5 speed.
I was a little boy when these cars first hit the road. It happened to be the very first car I would recognize on the street. After many years, I bumped into a Beretta again, and remembered my childhood dreams. Long story short, I bought a black 1991 GTZ in great condition and was really satisfied with it. I also got ahold of a project car as well.
The paint and the engine were in bad shape. The deeper I got into it, the more issues I discovered. Nonetheless, a 1.5 year project had just begun. At the stage of ordering parts, the project was in a difficult phase - until I heard about RockAuto. With unbeatable prices and reliable service even for overseas customers, RockAuto literally made this project possible. All hoses, suspension, brake and most of the engine parts were ordered, just to name a few of the most important parts.
The goal was to keep the car in stock condition with only a few modifications. I admit, that is not a car most people would put so much work into, but the result speaks for itself.

That's pretty cool, and it has the good motor and a 5 speed. I'd deal with the car for the drive train until the car was so far worn out that it would be a great donor for something else.
