Well, this story began in 1981 when my dad bought a 1982 T/A for 13,500.. It project82lt1's 1982 Pontiac Trans Am was the first car I sat behind the wheel of when I was nine years old. It had a few modifications done, but generally was his commute car garage kept, but slowly decaying.. In 1995 he gave it to me with 68k on the odometer.. and the wrenching began.

First I put in a hotter 305 and an slp cat-back.. In summer 2000 came Baer brakes and a complete suspension rebuild.. Now in 2003 came an entire interior refit, LT1 swap, Drivetrain rebuild and inprovement.. The appearance of the car as of now is below..

the rest of the pages summarize the ongoing build up of 2003.. the swap, custom gauges, and soon a head and cam change..

Ok grad school is keeping me very busy.. I blew up the automatic transmission and managed to get my hands on a six speed transmission out of a Trans Am, so swap away.. I was so busy doing the swap to get the car back on the road that I didn't take any pics.. sorry.. I will post some updated ones soon.. the install was hard but it looks factory which is nice.. mmm updating this site and cardomain wiped my second page as I was updating.. oh well..
