Hey guys this is a car I got last september when I was 18 and I havent put any pictures of this car up in a long time but Im get done with it slowy...lol But I got this car for $1,200 and a set of rims off my 1995 trans am. But it came with the original 400 rebuilt. So I couldnt past up the deal a new motor and the dash look great! And I got a lot of paper work with car he already found two build sheets on the car. And you can see there is a plack on the console say built for the original owner from pontiac. Now what I found out he wanted white with tan interior with red and gray decals. So since I got the car I found all three build sheets got the car running and put some what of the interior in. And now I just got done painting the car. So when I get done with this one Im going to try and get me a 1998-2002 trans am. So tell me what you guys think!

That turned out sweet dude!
-
nice color choice ;)
-
Looks great.

Wow! THAT is too cool for school! Mine is going to look EXACTLY like that when I get done. Whats interesting is that is almost a carbon copy of my car as it currently sits. Rigth down to the interior and the rear window defog. I can't WAIT to see your finished product, as mine is probably going to end up looking exactly like it.
Anyway that is a VERY cool car.
