    Well I have been looking for a new project for a while and came up with this. It is a 1984 Trans Am. It will be a project but I am excited to work on it. The exterior is good underneath is very clean for a NY car but it still needs a little work in some areas. The interior is really beat the seats are ripped and it was extremely dirty. I spent all day cleaning it is no longer horrible. Tomorrow I will get a wet vac and take care of the carpet and other dirty cloth pieces. Here is a quick break down. Car came with an extra set of rear 1/4 panels an extra five speed trans, drive shaft and other goodies.

    We will find out 6:30 Monday morning :)


    Runs great had it out all day today. The rebuilt engine is smooth and the mechanical fuel pump delivers well. The only issue is no choke so in the morning you need to keep it reved for a sec till the carb warms up.

    I'd like to vote this thread as the most inane motorcycle topic.
