My 85' Trans Am
I never started one of these so i figured i would now. Here is my 85' TA. i picked it up around jan 2010. The car was rust free and ran pretty good.
Here are some random pics from when i got it. We got a ton of snow that year haha!

Re: My 85' Trans Am
Then i slowly started to do some work to it, if you want more details go to my youtube account, 79tagio
Added some tips.
Painted under the hood, came out pretty good for a rattle can.
Allot of dressup!
Added a new hoodliner with a decal.
