Default [2001 WS6] My first F-Body...build thread?
So I finally picked one up, actually have had it since the beginning of April, but I've been accruing parts for it since before I bought it. Its a 2001 Trans Am WS6, 197xxx miles, A4. I found it on FB, the car being in Waco, TX and a friend not living far from there, I proceeded with purchasing it. Anyways here it is...

The original condition I received the car in.

























































And when it got here...




Finally home.





RPO codes.





Cleaned up with shaved moldings.





Tried like hell to shave the center section.





Wheels cleaned up alright....still hate them.





How she sits today...





....for the most part.


More to come guys, I just wanted to get this thread started.

Some one should smack the **** out of the PO for sticking those stickers all over everything, seriously why put stickers all over the rear view mirror, that doesn't even make sense.

It runs, no bad noises. Puking plenty of fluids though. This thing has been severely neglected for several years. Still haven't driven it yet though.

Funny how, with all of the ***Rockford Fosgate*** stickers, there's no stereo...

Retrofitted projectors huh. I wouldn't mind seeing how those were in stalled. I have an extra set sitting around. Could you take some pictures with how those are mounted?
