I was up under mine last week, cause it's had a decent-sized transmission leak for awhile now. Tightened up the rubber lines into the radiator, those still leak, and I had a trans pan leak that I finally pinpointed when I started it up to add more fluid to it, and I look over and there's fluid pouring out from under it. The gasket seal finally blew, so I replaced that a few days ago, and while doing that, I discovered that one of the bolt holes is stripped, and another is...just ridiculous. It looks like someone took a small grinder to one side, and the hole itself isn't even straight. Anyone know if that'll cause a problem when I go to drill it out? Whoever rigged it just used a smaller bolt and a nut, which was loose when I took the pan off. I'm gonna helicoil those sometime this week probably, and I may tackle my plugs and wires today.

???? I got a Trans Am rear bumper for my firebird (you should know they are different designs), more what it was about was just how cheap I got it, having paid 125 for the bumper and side skirts, when the CHEAPEST trans am rear bumper on Ebay is 100 plus freight shipping (atleast another 100), but they typically go for a good bit more.

Set the car on fire. Not on purpose mind you, but it still happened. It occurred when I was doing the PS cooling mod while replacing the pump. Full details at Power Steering Cooler Mod | 2000 Trans Am Blog

Just ordered new alternator, throttle body, for about 120 bucks and tracked down a set of ws6 rims with brand new still in plastic falken rubber to go with them for 300 bucks

suncoast does a good job in matching the product no modification was necessary.

Well the one in my dodge pickup is pretty bad. They are known for cracking.

The one in my car isn't too bad. I'd want a vinyl cap for it, not carpet.

lol don't get me started had a 99 dodge ram replaced the dash twice.. didn't think it would crack so fast when I replaced it the first time.
