Exterior
This Is my 1986 Pontiac TransAm.  (Construction begins this winter)

UPDATE: 1/16/09, I will soon start the body work once my 98 is done and out of the garage and into another. It wont be too soon tho.(Check out my 98 TA for more info )

My first car that me, myself, and I paid for, for $1200. It is a 305 TPI with 700r4 trans and a 2.73 rear end. The engine is still VERY strong. It just flys in WOT going down a street and I can get around some curves at 50 mph, even a little higher if no one around. I love the feeling of getting pushed back in my seat. I have put about $3600 in it so far for the normal 22 year car. I plan for a paintjob, weatherstripping, 3.42 rearend, 4th gen(93-96) center console, triple gauge pillar pod, some audio stuff, and some other small things.

I had a 1986 firebird and went to some salvage yard to get an engine and trans for it. The guy pointed to the black(the car I bought) and said you can buy the engine and trans out of this car for $700 and the shop the shop down the street with put them in for $600. Or you can buy thie whole car tax title fee Done for $1500. After thinking about it for a minute Isaid I'll buy it. I traded in the '86 firebird for $300.

UPDATE 4/26/09: Nothing done recently, but I have a 350 block sitting around and I plan on doing a 383 stroker build soon

Great looking car. Did your mechanic see these pics? If so is he still willing to warranty his work? LOL
If the pics say anything I am guessing 50% of the $3600 went up in smoke off the tires?
Please stop by and check out my baby.
