Default 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 :

Interior is legit, mint :




Stock Rims on for Storage :

Nice looking car! Still don't know why anyone thinks that flames belong on anything other that a hotwheel.
