Ok, so its not exactly a "new" car. 700r4 automatic. The fenders, hood, and bumper are off an 82. She needs some tlc. Mechanically everything seems pretty well off but I'm no tech. I installed a new radiator, added some tranny fluid and drove her home. Spent the morning with new oil/filter, plugs, wires, and adding more coolant/tranny fluid. Discovered how much fun the plugs are with all the emission crap in the way! I've got to see if she will pass a sniffer before I go yanking all that out.

 

looks....

.... it has alot of potential.

plans?

 

Plans.Well its going to be slow what with school and all. I have a trans am hood from that year that is silver. Its missing all the vents save one near the windshield. I'd like to replace the vents and get some matching paint on the hood before I put it on. With factory paint I don't think anything will match until the whole car is painted. I also have the correct front bumper that matches but it's rough. I'm sure that there is an air deflector to catch air for the radiator too.

Needless to say I've got my work cut out for me. Should be interesting because I've never done any kind of body work (or restoration). Now if anyone knows where I can get a book that explains (pictures would be great!) how everything goes together with part #'s and what not that would be great! It's probably obvious by now that I'm a complete newbie to the thirdgens so don't hate me too much if I say something stupid.
