The project has got a jump start, thanks to P.J. We decided that Peter will complete rust repairs in the States, before sending car to Finland. Problematic areas, as always, will need to be replaced: trunk floor and trunk floor extension. Here are couple of shots: Peter took the T/A to his own body shop for further investigations. Before shipping it to Finland, some missing and broken parts will be ordered first. Also, Peter will replace trunk floor and LH quarter Panel, and small hole under the rear window will be fixed. TF727 automatic will get also full renovation in the States. I made also purchase from Ebay: Challenger Factory Shop Manual, 801 pages. Because of the shipping delay (estimated 8 weeks), I'll have plenty of time to investigate T/A. This is my first Mopar, knowledge is still on rookie level ;) Enjoy the pictures! These pictures are taken in California 2013, just before my purchase. Previous owner has bought this car in 1998 and it have been waited for restoration since then. The previous owner is a Mopar enthusiastic and collector, started gather these gems in 1980's. His collection have been total 60 cars , but he has sold now 20 cars away. He still has 40 Mopars, not bad! He bought a few years ago another T/A, in better shape. He thought that one T/A is enough and this project was "on silent sale". Peter Jenslund knew this car and with excellent help of Peter I finally managed to buy this Trans Am. Not many T/A projects cars are on sale anymore! Some specs you all are waiting for - FF4 Light Green Metallic - Black Vinyl Top - Black interior - Black Steel Wheels, dog dish and ring trims - Buildsheet, fender tag, door tag - #Matching engine 340 T/A engine, fully repaired - Non matching TF727 transmission, needs repair I'll list more specs after investigating Build Sheet more carefully. Here are couple of shots of this project car (status October/2013): |
