WTB/WTT thread for my 2000 M6 T/A rebuild For: 2000 Pontiac Trans Am, Maple Red Metallic, T56.
Track wreck left the car within a hair of it's life but it's slowly coming together. This thread will be a compiled list of what I need as I discover things.
May be needed
- Stock/Aftermarket Tunnel Brace
- T/C Axle Shaft (G80/GU6 rear end - Right or Left, have not split rear axle open yet)
Nice to haves!
- Center console lid (Never brace for impact with this..)
- SLP LM1 (large diameter or quad tip)
- Arrowhead center-caps (red arrowhead with pontiac over-under)
- Lugnut caps (more the merrier)
- Subframe Connectors (SLP/BMR/UMI)
Trade Fodder:
Two refinish-able PA6 Wheels w/ tires (advise using as spares or remount)
Stock '00 LS1 Exhaust with 38,000 miles on it as partial with cash included for SLP LM1 (surface rust on the Y pipe but the rest just needs a light sand and buff to clean road grime)

Right now the list is in order of priority.
Until we can pull the back end and floor out to measure the LCAs I'm going to hold off buying them since it seems everyone has a set of LCAs, a PHB, and a TB.
However I really need these:
The side impact shoved my hinges over causing the metal to stretch and fold causing them to be rendered useless. At this point we are using the Hatch and the rest of the frame for reference points, and with bent hinges.. well it's not going to happen.

Bump for new suspension headaches. If anyone has UMI or BMR parts (adjustable or no) I'd prefer to go with tubular setups to replace my stamp steel parts. Getting alignment issues on the rear and it's looking like the Trailing Arms and Sways along with the Tunnel Brace and PHB may all be tweaked due to the loads incurred during the impact.
TLDR: Looking to toss out my broke rear suspension for used UMI/BMR parts on the cheap.

Bump and update:
Turns out the nature of the F-Body struck again. Removed suspension component request but am keeping the Axle and Tunnel Brace requests.
