83 Trans am, 305 Crossfire V8, purchased 10-24-14

Description:
I purchased this firebird trans am in need of much help. Running 305 Crossfire, runs well, but 170K on it. I can't quite believe it's running so well at that mileage. Unknown if it's been rebuilt or serviced. Many small scrapes along body, no major dents. Interior complete, crossfire complete. Running and driving, even. I will rebuild the 305, because I would like to keep my gas mileage. Performance is fine even with this old tired engine. This vehicle will have body work done, and then painted. Interior conversions, and a victim of retrofitting.

I've also included pictures of my last GM project car, 1978 Monte Carlo, which has seen the most labor I've ever put into a vehicle. Also included is an old Chevelle that I did a small engine bay restoration on.

Engine bay. Note: I did many coats and painted the fender wells after this. I was too naive to snap a final photo of course.

an old Chevelle. I removed the front clip and sprayed the bay. Naval jelly helped remove the massive amounts of rust.

This is the before picture on the Chevelle :) 80% of the work was removing the rust.
