1983 TA

1983 Trans Am
Repainted, interior done after two years. Wish I had a set of 15 inch rims
with bowling ball hubcaps. Anyone know if after market turbo fin or
bowling ball hub caps will be sold by a legit vendor. I know they have
the spoke GTA ones.

Re: 1983 TA

Cool looking car. Please post some better pics showing the whole car.
Did those two tone brown seats originally come with a black car or did you change the color to black?

I re-upolstered the seats after market colors the brown is darker.
Thats all original except I did not paint the bottom goes which I regret
and put the decals on. Had the car since 2008 been working on it on and
off over the years. I will post a few more pics.
Thanks,
Al
