I decided to post my progress of my Trans Am's restoration, then after restoration is mods.
Car came with hail damage, messed up Y2K corvette rims, bald tires, cracked windshield, broken t-top (actually came with a cardboard t-top), dash pad was shattered, seat belt guide was gone, wiper bolt covers were cracked and damaged, wipers were broken and the rubber was barely hanging on, exhaust needed adjustment, driver tail light had condensation and lost it's reflectiveness, most of the rear bulbs needed replacement, carpet was stained pretty bad and had lots of filth, driver seat is cracked on the lower portion of it, driver mirror had a huge hole and crack on it, and was extremely filthy.
So far I replaced drivers tail lamp, windshield, whole driver mirror, seat belt guide, whipper bolt covers, dash pad, tail light bulbs.
Then I self adjusted the exhaust to it's original positioning, cleaned carpet with a mixture of oxyclean and water (works great but cannot remove some stains), cleaned and washed the engine bay, cleaned up the exterior very well,bought LG motorsports world challenge G2 rims, cleaned air filter, sea foamed, changed oil twice, changed rear differential fluid, oil filter, fuel filter, refilled air conditioning, polished up interior, put in floor mats that are OEM from my firebird when I first got the firebird, replaced windshield wipers to Michelin stealth wiper blades (highly recommended).
To do list over the next few months, do paintless dent repair on the car and do plan on doing it myself since I have cars to practice it on, get the LG motorsport Rims repaired and refinished, buy Nitto 555R tires 275/40/R17, buy lower ebony seat cover for the Driver seat, replace spark plugs (have E3's sitting in the trunk of the car currently just waiting for time to put them in), replace wires to MSD 8.5, replace O2 sensors.

Trans Am runs 13.35 @ 104.74mph as it's fastest time at Lapeer drag strip.
Here is the pictures since I first bought the car to most recent, cannot tell the differences but you can see the cracked windshield and painters tape repaired mirror. I wish I had more of the interior and parts I replaced.
