Hey everyone. I am new here and i just wanted to say hi. I recently purchased a 89 Trans am and currently it is about 70 percent restored. A few minor things needs done such as finishing the interior work and get a new paint job. Currently it is orange but i plan on getting her painted black in july.
She has a chevy 350 in her and thats all i know about motors,5 speed manual transmission t-tops and 16 inch tires on the rear and 15 inch tires on the front, and a ram air hood. check out the pics in my garage.

Re: Greetings

Welcome to TGO! Where in CA are you? It looks cold. Was the 5.7 swapped into it before you bought it or did they swap the 700R4 for the T-5? Just curious if you'll have any trouble smogging it. What are your plans for it after the interior and paint are finished?
