3 Attachment(s)
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 :lmao: blowing the engine out racing a vett :burnout: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

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!

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.

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.

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!

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?

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!
