Finished a mini-resto on my Trans Am

Did all the work myself, basically fixed a lot of what was wrong with the car and added some small goodies.
Car day 1:


Car before resto:


Car after:






Still working on the interior, getting the seats re-upholstered while I put a cage in. Car is mainly used for autox. Plan to use it for track days/HPDEs, and so on.

Mods
Engine: G5X3 Cam, Comp 921 Springs, Kooks 1 3/4 headers and y-pipe, Magnaflow Catback, SLP Lid, SLP MAF, and Jeremy F. tune.

Transmission: LS7 Clutch/Flywheel, stainless steel shift forks, billet shift keys, carbon fiber synchros, micronited input shaft, gears 1-4, etc, Pro 5.0 shifter and short stick.

Suspension/Brakes: LG Motorsports Double adjustable panhard, LG Motorsports single adjustable Lower Control Arms, Strano Springs, Koni single adjustable shocks, subframe connectors, UMI tubular upper and lower A-arms, Strano 35mm hollow sway bar. Stainless steel lines, ate brake rotors, hawk pads.

Interior: Rear seats removed, replaced stock carpet with lightweight black carpet, Corbeau CR-1s (getting re-upholstered), working on a cage.

Wheels: CCW Classics 18x9.5 up front and 18x11 in the rear.

More soon to come hopefully.

Thank you man! Still a work in progress...but I can't complain how it looks and runs compared to when I got it. The previous 5 owners did not take care of the car!
