Hey guys would like to share this with you. This is my 92 trans am convertible that's been in the family since 94 my dad gave it to me when he left at 16 and i have owned it ever since. Its been through alot with my from my first lady friend in it blowing the engine out racing a vett too even trashing the rear and on my first rear end swap lol. I even when to my lowriding phase with me in high school i love that car over the years its received less use and now that i have some money and time on my hands would like to bring it back to life because it hurts me to see the way it is now and how it use to be i would not even left it get dirty would have my t/a shining all the time and now it collects dust. But not for long its getting everything redone or new in some way but would like some ideas and some input on my way to its resurrection

here it is on my high school years


this is now

 

here is the side view

 

Those wheels in the first pic look SOOOOO photochopped (and pretty ugly IMO). How the heck is the front wheel on such a huge angle??

But cool car nonetheless. Converts are def worth bringing back to life so fix that thing up!

 

no its because i took a picture of a picture thats why the angle looks funny

 

my parts are slowly arriving and cant wait to put them on here are the GTA tail lights thnx to Ted gelarch for having a pair.

 

its been over a year and now i have more parts for this new carpet,dash,rims door panels center console and a few extra ill post some pix

 

interior removed

old carpet new one from hawks

 

Post those pics!
* EDIT * You posted them while I was typing LOL!

 

powder coated intake

and the bird gets new shoes

i will be posting the work i do maybe i will get one follower on this thread lol

 

theres a few and when i open the other boxes and start the install ill have a few more

 

Thats a ton of nice looking parts you've got there! Love the ronal wheels...they never get old on a 3rd gen.

 

took me a while to find a good set of those ronal for the right price.
why did my thread get moved from the convertible to the history?

 

Have you thought about changing the red accents on your wheels to white? That would look great if you plan on keeping your car white.

 

Looks like a good project you have. I love the 'verts. What did you do with your old tail lights?

 

Yup. go with white centers

 

thats what i was think going with the white accents. i was think for a bit going red with the car but im not anymore looking for a nice white pearl.

 

i still have them im not instaling the new ones till its painted and almost ready. I just sold my other extra set i had too.

 

Glad to see there are no more wire wheels on the car now LOL!. Looks like it will be a nice car when done and love the new wheels. I think paint the wheels black where they are red now.

 

Thats the wrong TPI for a 92

 

what do you mean?

 

The runners are for 85-87. They have the cold start inj hole. The Plenum may not be correct for the maf setup either.

I would skip on the pearl white. It will turn yellowish over time and not look very good. Nice clean white is the best IMO.

 

new carpet in but i should have done a search first before installing it its really hard to move and mold to the floor. i read on here that you need to leave it in the sun for a few hours so thats what i did and worked like a charm!

 

did some work done to the interior door panels are installed now im waiting on the seats to be reupholstered in the next few weeks


i was checking the rims on the car they will even look nice with the red on them and my white car

 

just received my seats for Xmas that's whats up i got a great pricw and they came out pretty good let me know what you guys think. they look dark but in the light they look good

 

Coming together very nicely! That will be a ride to be proud of!

 

Don't worry about the 9th injector hole buddy, that can easily be covered with a billet block off plate. Nice T/A!!! I have a 86 T/A blue and gray lower trim. How much was the carpet from hawks?

 

i believe it was like 160 for the front part

 

new update the rims are on my interior is 98% done next step 305 to 350

 

coming along really well mate

Nice to see people doing things properly with 3rd gens (re-upholstered seats, Ronal R15s)

If road conditions permit, drop it an inch or two yo!

 

oh it will be dropped a few inches after i drop in a 350 for sure

 

have a new update havent had a chance to post pix i just picked up a factory cd player my car came with and a new set of recovered shift **** and e brake

installed

cd player having a hard to installing because i cut the original pig tail

 

You're making some pretty good progress. Those seats came out really nice!

 

Looks good! Keep posting pics man!

 

yeah i really like how they ended up looking thanx guys hopefully im done by August with the car for Hot August nights

 

Seats look great! where did you get them done?

 

they were done by a friend of my girls dad who works at a upholstery shop. he did a great job its a small shop in Auburn CA
