Picked up an '84 Trans Am roller for $300 a few months back completely intending to flip or part it, depending on how much rot I found. I found none at all, not one little pin hole anywhere, so I held onto it and it became a COVID quarantine project. Originally an L69/T5 WS6 non-W62 car made it a bit of an uncommon and neat project, I'm at $3400 invested total so far. Brand new 406 and a low mileage WC T5 from a V6 Camaro are about to go in. I spray painted the ugliest areas of the body and made it presentable, replaced the gas tank, sending unit, exhaust, sway bar end links, rear shocks, wheels, parking brake cables, and radiator, and cleaned the interior heavily.
Thanks guys! It's been a good project to learn on. Everything else I've had was a constant battle of fixing what's broken, it'll be nice to have a car that's pretty much new from front to back.
Engine and trans are in, majority of the wiring and plumbing are done, cooling system is finished and I have a few loose ends to tie up but it's getting really close!
It's back together and running. Had a Y pipe made, picking it up from the exhaust shop next week. Need to install the slave cylinder and bleed the clutch and it'll be ready to drive! I'm extremely proud of this and how it all came out.
I think I have found its twin! Its an 84 that i bought in 93. Had crager chrome wheels that I ended up swapping for the Enkei wheels that are on it now.
Got some grilles, wired up some Dodge Intrepid fans, made a fuel sending unit extension harness so my gauge would plug in and work with my modified EFI unit, made it to one final car show, and put it inside for the bad weather months. It sure has come a long way in a few months.
