82 Trans Am resto Project
i have a 1982 LU5 Trans Am. i was currently starting a resto but got offered another car i couldnt refuse. there is a good amount of time and investment into this car not a lot of money but just little things. i got new plugs, wires distributor cap, new front pads, rotors, calipers, brake hoses, bearings, all in the front, new sway bar bushing links in the front. master cylinder all top of the line nothing cheap. doing cosmetics myself battery tray is junk and small holes in floor pans fixing that wont ever be a problem again. im using por-15 runs fine kept up with oil very mine leaks easy to fix just wont bother with them myself since im selling the car i can point out everything. NEEDS weatherstrip, carpet, i am getting the carpet an weatherstriping i can get but wont put on since it still need to be painted and not having the money spent for that to just junk new stripping. has quit on me twice once when i jumped this guys car in the lot. the alternator went got a new one. and the other when the fuel pump relay went. radiator hoses all new, shocks in the back new wheel cylinders are new all drums and pads are fine. last owner who had it never had a fuel filter insstalled tried to cheat cut the lines so i installed one myself back to factor needs. new fuel pump, interior needs work. i was planing on getting a whole new seat set, but that cost a little. tires are brand new, shifting linkage is brand new. lights work just have to replace the motors havnt gotten around to figuring out that problem really but pretty sure its just the motors. have the manual for the car for 82 firebird trans am specific. car cover. cant say t-top leak or not but when i was driving in the rain leaked a little. i installed the later thirdgen t-tops with the push rails instead of the clip style so a little bit of an upgrade. only time i was in an accident was going down some back roads and there wernt any posted signs or at least any posted that i could see, just a fender bender no real damage to tghe frame. got a replacement fender from an 84 trans am black. im sure there is more that i done just cant think at the moment but send me an email NOT A PARTS CAR 1900 OBO
