Default Hello all.....

Hi guys and girls.
Found your site through a link off another forum to one of your members project cars.
Great site, I'm hoping to take my 77 Trans Am in a direction that will improve handling and braking...basically bring the car up to modern day standards in a few areas.
I'm located in Sydney, Australia. I've owned this particular T/A about 4 years, I've slowly been sorting problems etc and driving and enjoying the car. Latest upgrade is to add some 17" alloys in 8" for the front (with 255/50x17 Nitto NT450s) and 9" on the rear (with 275/50x17 Nitto NT450s).
I've replaced the body/subframe bushes with poly ones (probably should have gone alloy, I suppose) and I have Alston subframe connectors and G-braces for the subframe to add soon. I'm also putting together the parts needed to swap to 1LE 12" front discs.
Anyhow, heres a couple of pics I took after fitting up the rims the other day.
All the best, hope to chat to a few of you along the way.

I love those cars. We have been sending a lot of parts to Australia. Looks like a lot of you guys love our American muscle over there.

Welcome aboard!

Nice Trans Am. The annual Trans Am Nationals are located here in Dayton, Ohio @ the Dayton International Airport every fall. The streets are filled with poncho's all weekend. Good luck with your build.
