Back Ground
Big John has owned this car for around 25 years.  Most of it's life it was a very mild mannered V6 commuter car.  Big John had moved to Florida but came back to RI around 02' and once he was close-by again I was able to influance him and the upgrades began !  When I say this was a "base car" I mean it !  Started life as a V6 with automatic, dull grey interior, & even a 'dummy light' Instrument Cluster !!  We stared off by pulling the V6 out and installing a well seasoned LG4.  The factory V8 ECM system was even included and the wiring was corrected so the "Check Engine" light worked normally.  The car still has a factory exhaust but now thatthe car is an antique, the smog accessories were removed and the AIR ports were plugged.  That was good for awhile but the upgrades never really end - do they ?!?  The next upgrade was to the Suspension.  The 'rare' 1985 Trans Am  Front/Rear Springs were installed as well as s  34mm hollow Front Sway Bar.  A few seasons go by with some changes to the body (A Formula Hood and Hatch, new Fenders ect... ) and our next big project was to convert it to a T5. While converting the tranny I took the time to install and set-up a full gauge cluster and a 120 Speedo Gauge Cluster for it.  That was good, but a couple season later he bought - and I build - a 3.73 Rear end for it.  While installing the rear end the rear suspension was upgraded with a tubular Panhard Bar as well as a pair of tubular Rear Control Arms.   The interior had basically stayed the same other than the gauge cluster upgrade; but during the summer of 2011 we installed a 2-tone Red/Grey interior that I found in someone's wrecked Trans Am garage queen.  WOW ----->  What a car !!
