After owning the Bonneville for a year as my DD, it was time to put it up for sale. About a few weeks after it was gone, I found a white '94 3100 Beretta for $800 on Craigslist, didn't look bad in the pictures so I decided to go check it out.

When I went down to look at the car, the owner was having problems getting the belt back on (he had just replaced the water pump) and I helped him get it on. Since I did so, he knocked $100 off the price, and I bought it for $700.

These were taken the week I bought the car. Not a very attractive car, lol.

I'm currently running 17x7 Eagle Alloy's, wrapped in 205/40 Bridgestone Potenzas. I'm honestly looking for a full set of either GTZ, GTU or Indy wheels for the car if not a nice set of bronze or flat black 16's. These will do for now though.

I removed the Chevy emblem from the rear bumper, and removed the pinstriping. I also painted the side markers (in need of replacement anyway). I put Sylvania Silverstars in all four headlights as well. I also painted the filler panels white, along with painting the reflectors on the tails black. I removed all the trim off of the doors while I was at it. I also installed a grille off of a Z26, and painted the emblem on it GM Light Beige Metallic (leftover from my Bonneville).

I also have the ground effects off a teal Beretta Indy, spent a few months restoring the kit and it turned out fairly well. Have a few photos of it installed after those of the car before the kit was installed.

The kit was just a little bit rough... as in it was pretty nasty. The side skirts and rear valence came off of a Pennsylvania Indy, the front lip came off an Indy from Wisconsin. The side skirts and rear valences had a bad coat of paint sprayed all over them, so they were covered in paint runs. They also had a good amount of scratches infront of where the rear wheels are. I also had to make brackets to mount the side skirts, only one was left on the set. The lip was cracked and had paint chips coming off everywhere, and wascurbed a few times by the look of it.

The first two photos are the side skirts, the other three are of the front lip before I restored them.

Here are a few photos with my Indy kit restored and installed.

For the interior, I simply put on some leather seat covers with a set of Chevy floormats. I also installed a new set of Jensen front and Pioneer rear speakers. The whole interior got soaked in Blue Magic upholstery and carpet cleaner, it was pretty gross before I got to it.  I painted the trim on the console and around the vents bronze, along with the door handle insert by the locks.

You can also see my shifter out of a Cutlass Supreme, and my Pilot steering wheel and my set of bolt on pedal covers. I took off the rubber on top of the pedals and bolted the covers straight to them.

Keep checking back for updates! There's way more than this planned for the Beretta! Updates will come only when money does, so updates may be far and few, but they will be done!
