New guy here!
Hey guys/gals! Im new to the crew and wanted to tell you a little about me and my ride.
My name is Kyle, I am 16, getting my license on the 6th of August and live in Seatac WA. I have a 1986 Trans Am WS6 that my uncle "Special Orderd" from the factory with every option but leather and power seats. He sold it to his son and his son ran it into the ground. The engine was siezed. When i got the car it looked like it was ready for the junk yard but i wasn't going to let that happen. I am paying him $500. I have an appointment on the 19th of August for the engine to get done. I am putting in a 350 TPI and getting rid of the 305. Then comes new tires, exhaust and bla, bla, bla!
I am looking forward to hanging out with the crew but will probably be buisy for a month or so and then school starts up.
Here are a few pics of my baby. She's not in the best of shape (dent in front quarter pannel and pealing paint on the fron bumper) but give me some time!
Here is an older pic, only washed once and painted the front bumper where there was yellow. Cheasy but better than YELLOW!

Welcome dude! That car is much nicer looking than you described.....hardly LOOKS run into the ground, but I'm sure the engine may well be. Hope to see ya around at the gatherings, I think it's way too short of notice to invite you to our annual gathering goin on this weekend (2nd-4th of Aug) at Elk River in So. Oregon. Like I said it is annual thing so we hope you can make it next year......but don't fret yo......we will have PLENTY o' gatherings in the coming months! Welcome and enjoy that purty 3rd gen!
