I did, that's who.

[Fair warning: the images are pretty high-quality, to allow for zooming into details and whatnot. For the first page or so it'll be a pretty slow load.]

Day of purchase:







October 18th, 2016:






































































1982 Pontiac Firebird TRANS AM with an LG4 305 5.0 L V8. 130K KMs on the motor. Got it for a steal. Needs a safety but I should be getting that done in a couple days.

Things I'd like to get done ASAP:
- Safety test.
- Rear tail lights need new bulbs and potentially fuses.
- Speakers are shit, maybe need to buy a new tape deck because mine sounds awful. I actually could use some help in this area, as I have no idea what exactly is causing my sound quality to be so bad.
- Interior in general could use some fixes. The whole dashboard appears to be crooked. Some of the gauges, including oil temperature and voltage (as well as fuel, I suspect) need to be fixed.
- New transmission handle. I hate the one that's in there, and I'd like to get one of those cool looking ones with the button on the side.
- Centre console needs a cover. It's ripped off.

Put new front tires on her today. I'll get some shots tomorrow.

Have to check the differential tomorrow cuz the rear end is making some funny noises. following that, bulbs are going to be changed and new tires will be put on the rear.

The car upfront probably wasn't super expensive, but to my knowledge older car models are a trap -- you can buy defunct ones on the cheap but the cost of replacing their parts is astronomical because they aren't in production anymore.

except this thing was in running order when i bought it, and that's why i bought it. in absolute necessities, i only paid $300 more after i bought the vehicle for tires. everything else was an optional purchase by me.

and gm parts are dirt cheap and easy to find, so. . .

not a waste of money at all.

Yeah bro, those tpi 305's are capable enough and have a huge cult following with lots of available resources and a big aftermarket. Easy to rebuild if you somehow grenade it too.

it's not tuned port. it has a carb so there's no chance.

im actually not 100% sure the motor is the stock 305 that came in 82 cuz the previous owner swapped the factory motor at 200k. im thinking its a buick motor but i have to double check.

either way im going to upgrade to the 5.7 sooner or later. thinking LT1 maybe.
