Title: Black 78 Trans Am
Post by: Roscoe on October 14, 2016, 03:44:03 PM

Hi Folks,

First post! I'm in the UK and currently trying to restore an original black 78 Trans AM! I've always wanted to own one, not a great deal of 'car rebuilding knowledge' so will no doubt need a helping hand! I'm making good progress in getting this beauty back on the road! I'll start by adding a few pictures of how she looked when I collected her!!

Next batch of photos! The process of taking her back to bare metal. One of the front wings (fender!) was is a poor state and luckily found a replacement (as 'Andy' hadn't collected!) I had the side vent cut out of the original fender and fitted into the replacement.

More to follow....
