My 84 Trans am (the homecoming)

My Trans am is a old family member it was my brothers car form #### to 2001 he sold it to me but I owed a 1988 Caprice Classic 305 and Trans am had 1991 4 bolt 350 TBI and I was pressured to sale one and being young and stupid I did engine swap and sold Trans am
in the year 2007 I lost my brother in motorcycle accidents and 30 November that year I found out Trans am was being restored and was happy to here that .
In January I got a post that it was for sale 3 day later I bought it for 200,000 ikr (2000$)
but do to weather I was not able get it an till may
we left 4:00 in the morning


4 hour later we arrived

Re: My 84 Trans am (the homecoming)
good tow truck back to workI went on a trip to Hafanfjörð


to get my Ls1 and 4L60-E from rebuild

to get from Reykjavík to Akranes you need to go through Mosfellsbær it was build next to the highway so to day we have 9 small DuPont circle to go through , so after that it is good idea to make sure motor is secure


11 years ago the road went only to the right 85 km to Akranes to go

but 10 years ago we got a tunnel so 20 km to go

Re: My 84 Trans am (the homecoming)
That is looking awesome!!! Keep it American even in Iceland!!! You should paint it the original colors in memory of your brother. Just a suggestion. Looks great either way.

Re: My 84 Trans am (the homecoming)
Wow, that's some project!
It looks like you've made some real progress on the engine compartment...is it ready for paint? Since your putting a 4th gen dash in the TA, does that mean your going to convert the whole interior to 4th gen? Can't wait to see the future updates!
