Here is my 84 S/E project so far....I have plans on adding trans am fendors too. I have the little flare ground f/x to add also.

Ive replaced many parts and the car is finally running pretty smooth and strong.

NEW STUFF.

Added the trans am hood. I was going to put this on my red sport coupe but this S/E is much closer to the trans am equipment so I chose to put the t/a stuff on this one.

Do you plan on adding the same year T/A fenders? I think some of the newer fenders would look better with the ground f/x..
Do you have any before or underhood pics?

Edit:Ignore me, you added 'em as I typed this reply

I think the hood looks pretty aggressive so far. I need to fix the doors on the car too. They are rusted through along the bottom. I have a set of power doors I purchased. These will go on sometime in the near future.

NEW STUFF.

The original passenger side light was damaged by a deer. So I took it off, thinking that a new light assembly would be easy to find. WRONG! I have had trouble finding any replacements. So I literaly wired the old light back in. The hinges were damaged so the light would fall down. I had to wire it into the up position. I also put a new lid cover to make it look halfway descent.

Here are a few under the hood shots. Ive replaced the plugs/wires/belts/hoses/radiator/fan/fan clutch/hood struts/rebuilt the carb/and added a new fuel filter. I also removed an old school car alarm and hood lock!

EDIT: This pic is of the engine compartment before the new belts, radiator, fan, and fan clutch.

WELL thats it so far. I will be replacing the rear brake shoes the next time and I will check out the transmission. I would like to have this puppy on the road soon. She's nearing that point!

I hope you have enjoyed the pictures. Please go to my website to see the older pics of when I first got the car and check out my other 84 Firebird Sport Coupe!
