Default updated pics of the $2k trans am
as some of you may remember, i posted a while back when i picked this car up at the dealership i work at for 2k. cleaned it up ALOT. put wheels and tires on it, and have been slowly restoring it as time and funds allow. the guy that traded it in worked out of it as a painter so it was rough. its not back to 100% yet, but im taking pride in returning it to its former glory!

dont have any really good ones. but suffice it to say the car was ROUGH. swirled ans scratched up, nasty interior, 2 different sets of rims, and alot of broken odds and ends.
