  • Bought Another F-Body

    So as some of you know I have a 2002 Firebird w68 with a 3.8. I finally completed the car to the point where it was where I exactly wanted it. So I bought a 2000 Trans Am for an interior and engine swap to complete it.
    Well the way things turned out... God blessed me with an awesome project car that I decided to keep and restore and I been working on with my dad. The car is a 2000 silver Trans Am Sevans Series and I have some big plans for it over the next few years after I save up enough money for a 4cyl winter beater that can take a beating from Michigan.
    Here is some pics the car is dirty and yes I know it has snow flake rims because my awesome brother(Outlaw-53) let me use them until the car can get a nice pair of rims and tires for it, since the tires that came with the car was toast.
    These pics are after couple days of straight working on it with my dad.

        Thanks.
        The T.A is has dings all over the rear quarters and headlamp covers from hail in Texas.
        Yes the change is fun, a lil test drive in the 5.7 made me crap myself.
        Huge diff in 5.7 and 3.8 not even comparable.

            Can't tell from the pics - what's on the side of the door where it normally says "Trans Am"? Looks like something really long.

            Also what's the Sevans Edition? Never heard of it before.

              Interesting - just googled it. A special option from LG Motorsports. Only bummer is it looks like someone stripped the Raptor hood off that it was supposed to come with!

                Haha a Fiero would be perfect, but probably not a good idea.
                Yeah on the side of it it says "Trans Am Sevan Series".
                I am not sure if all came with the Raptor hood though, the paint matches perfectly along with fitment and the hinge is not modified.
                I know for sure it has the Borla, K&N, tints, and is lowered.
                The original rims on it is gone though, it came with Vette rims that I am going to clean and put up for sale soon.

                    The only reason i suggest it, is that is my plan. completely stupid for the winter. but such a nice car to have fun with.

                      I would do the Fiero if I lived in a State that has very light snow lol.
                      My plans so far is to get the dents removed by paintless dent repair and some rims and tires.
                      Probably try to find the original rims for it.

                        I am thinking in 2000 they used the OEM Trans Am hood.

                            Looks like an awesome car!

                            I still remember back to the summer of '08 racing your brother's V6 Camaro with my slow-ass pig of an IROC at Lapeer

                              Nice looking car! Wonder why someone put camaro wheels on it? They dont look half bad on it for 16s.
