So I bought this car July 2017 as pictured with some flames on her (lol) got it for 9000 Canadian.

Ended up lowering it, putting on some C5-Z06 wheels, getting hood painted, headers and a tune

Over the winter I installed 4 OEM C6 Z06 wheels with Michelin Pilot rubber, changed ram air stickers to red, did some red caliper paint, did Hawks 5th gen conversion shifter. Cant wait to get this thing out this year

Tasteful transformation, looks better with the c6 Z06 wheels. What size wheels and tires are they?
hopefully not too much longer for better weather to enjoy it.

I have them put on a rack, use them to store car on, why do you ask Frank?

Got tint removed (myself.. PAINNN), and redone. Rear was 3 piece and d/s was chipped and crap, one piece rear now and proper tint now!

Was a solid summer of driving despite Covid - rolled some good miles on this time.

Nice to have it properly sorted, just fire it and go.

Only thing I changed before storage - did the Calipers black and replaced the red Ram-Air stickers with factory coloured ones.

Cars like ours are becoming more rare...the Transam variety even more so...don't ever sell, you've got a sweet bird there.

Thought I'd take the winter and finally fix the leaking AC compressor (leaking at body since I got the car)

Found :
-Compressor leaking
-Rubber line to condenser leaking
-Condenser not looking too hot

Replaced :
Delphi Compressor
Delco Condenser
Accumulator
Orfice tube
Delco Discharge and Suction hose set
Delco PSI switch
New AC belt tensioner, idler and belt

Once its warmer Ill take it to where I work to do a nice long vacuum and recharge and be good to go!
