Project : Blackbird - 2002 Trans-Am WS6
Hey everyone!
IG : blackbird_ws.6
7th Fbody here
Ever since my 98 TA, I wanted another Trans Am. Bought my 01 Camaro a few years back and did a 6.0 up with cam etc, was a fun car, but always had a soft spot for the Trans Am.
Found this TA on Kijiji back last June, got talking to the guy and got it down to a more then fair price (Sub 10k). Car needed a LF wheel bearing, Trans Mount.. and thats it.
Hood had air brushed flames, which I wrapped the first day it came home (hood is coming off for paint this weekend actually to fix it properlly).
So far I have done
-Prokit
-OEM Z06 Rims (C5)
-Longtubes,Y,Raven (flowmaster) Muffler
-Poly Trans Mount
-LED Fog lights
Going to do this spring :
-Gunmetal Ramair and "TRANS-AM" Door emblems
- 4.10 gears (pinon seal is leaking, so going to just do gears and all seals, ujoints etc)
- LED low and high beams
Keeping this one a fun bolt on/gear car for now.. loving having a black TA though!
When I bough it :
After Wrap/Rims and Lower :
Pre Storage Detail :
Interior is legit, mint :
Stock Rims on for Storage :
Away for Storage, yanking hood off on Saturday :
Installed my LED fogs this weekend, love them :

Sweet find! Car looks good. How many km on the clock? Sub 10k, 01, black, 6 speed ram air!!! That is like finding buried treasure at the bottom of the ocean, especially these days.
Are the fogs a direct bulb replacement? where did u pick them up if you dont mind me asking?

185,000 when I got it. Was up in mount forest (I live near grandvalley) - ad was very minimal with crap little photos, so it wasnt showing as good as it actually is.
Got him down to $9200, which was a steal IMO.
Buddy got me the fogs, I can get you a set, $100.

Thanks man, I am loving this thing! I am going to stick with the C5-Z06 for summer and storage duty to the Speedlines.
Car was a solid purchase, little scared selling my confirmed good and built Camaro for it, but I'd rather a stocker Black 6 speed WS6 then a built pewter Z.

Well, after some crazy weather :
-Car is out, pinon seal was replaced, did a fresh oil change and got Arun to tune it.
I spent last night doing a full detail :
Chemical Guys :
-Blacklight Glaze
-Jetseal Sealant
-Butter wet wax
-V07 Spray sealant
-Various interior conditions/sprays
Shes looking good for 197,000km and 16 years old.

Love the ride...i'm a manual trans guy, so i'm happy you are taking care of such a beauty! I hope you enjoy driving that 4th gen...too many people have forgotten or care little for the joys garnered by driving a manual trans car....so sad.
