Hello I am Feri from Hungary, I am a fresh owner of a 1985 Trans Am. The car landed at me as a debt settlement. My old time friend couldn't give back the cash for years, so he gave his car to me. This is my first US car, so probably I will have a lot of questions

About the car: it is an 1985 Trans Am, done only 42000 miles, standing the last 20 years in my friends garage. Probably everything about the car is stock, except of the paint, which had been redone around year 2000.

 

These are the first pictures. I have already removed one of the wings on the back, the next job will be removing those ugly antennas from the top...

 

Welcome! The TA looks to be in very good condition. You are right, you need to loose the extra antennas.

 

Thx for the welcome! The whole car is very straight, never driven in winter or even i the rain.

Some issues needs to fix although: one of the buttons adjusting the driver's seat is broken, the driver's safety belt hasn't got the strongest spring, it has got barely enough power to return to the A column. I need also a new exhaust system, the rear silencer is totally cut off at the bottom - practically there is no silencer...

 

Very nice looking TA and welcome to thirdgen not too bad a list of things to do there :]

 

Nice car! I hope I'll get to see it sometime.
Isten hozott!

 

Thank You guys for the welcome! Koszi!

 

Welcome to the board and congrats on a great looking car. I like the rear window louvers. Very 80's.

 

Thank You!

 

Here are the pics taken from the fist ride. Still with the ugly antennas, but only with one rear wing:

 

 

whats that thing behind the shifter but infront of the window switches?

 

Welcome to the board. Nice looking car. I bet you get great radio reception . Lose the antennas!

 

I think its a thermometer, but I haven't discovered yet how it works

 

Thank You! Yes, I can catch some US stations here as well on the original Delco radio But I am on the task and the antennas have to go for sure!

 

Szia!

szep auto! mi a tovabbi szandekod vele?

 

The interior looks great, love the leather seats, goes great with the exterior blue.

 

Here it is, after removing 3 antennas from 4. The last antenna is the only one that the radio really uses. I will try to find one with slightly different shape.

Here are some new pics about the car. I have changed to 17'' wheels and also solved the leaking automatic transmission oil sump.

 

 

Next jobs I need to do:
- change the exhaust back box
- do the steering - all the ball joints and linkage is way pasted. I think I will need a full steering kit and change probably everything there. The only thing is, I have no clue where to find a steering kit in Europe....

 

Those are good looking wheels. Where did you get them from?

 

Thanks! I think they are from a BMW E39, but I'm not sure about the manufacturer. I will try to find it somewhere on the wheels and let You know.

 

Very nice car hope you enjoy it for a long time.

 

 

Hello everyone,

I'm a fresh Camaro owner from Hungary. It's winter here, I will not use my car for 4-5 months, so I can fix some mistakes. So, I will have a lot of questions.

(Sorry, my english is not too good. I improve that.)

Have a nice day.

 

Wow so good looking.Gotta love the sleek stock look.Especially in Europe 100% stock muscle cars look really exotic.Awesome car and taste for cars but I'm sure you are bored of hearing this

 

Great looking Firebird. Bet they're is nothing like it anywhere else in Europe.

 

welcome dude
Im in England (uk) though I do work with a Hungarian mechanic (Laci)

 

surprising how many American cars, and especially 3rd gens there are over here

 

I bet there would be more american cars if cars would be taxed on value not displacement or number of bolts or other bs intentionally made to sell german expensive cars.

 

lucky in UK fixed price tax on all cars built before 2005

 

great looking car
