New to the board
Hey guys I been around here for a long time but just recently joined up. I had my 1987 Transam since 1995 and did the engine and interior over in 2001 spending well over $20,000. Since then its basically been garaged and maybe driven 3000 miles at best due to marriage/kids. Just recently registered and insured it again so I can finally start to truly drive and enjoy this beast again. Just ordered 4 new tires and still have 4 brand new 16x8 GTA black honeycomb rims I got from Classic Industries back in 2000 still in the box. Here is what has been done so far: (any comments/suggestions/criticisms are all appreciated)

Here is one I just took the other day. I can't figure out how to post more then 1 pic at a time on here. It pretty much looks like a sleeper. Never painted it yet.

Thanks. Yea no rust, straight body. The rear spoiler of course is toast though. When that day comes to paint it down the road I'm gonna have to get a new fiberglass one from Hawks.

The arm rest was wrapped but the dashboard is stock and stayed in perfect condition. The shift plate has some minor scratches though and the leather boot has some minor tears so I might get a new one from Hawks when there done reproducing an 85-92 automatic shift plate.

Re: New to the board
Hey guys after seeing what I have in this car so far, is there anything else that I can do to increase horsepower without having to reprogram the custom chip?? Minus nitrous and superchargers
