Getting the Trans Am rolling!
 
I just booked my flight home in March from the 15-th to April 2 and hopefully weather permitting I'd like to get the Trans Am on the ground and moving under its own steam. I know the motor runs, and it didn't throw any codes which is a good thing, but it only ran for a minute and there is a small list of left over things that need to be done. I was hoping if I got the word out early, I'll be able to get a few hands free to swing by and help!

I have all the fluids I need as well, but In no particular order:
Tighten the master cylinder
Bleed the brakes
Re-Run the wiring harness
Add transmission fluid
Re-connect the steering knuckle
Wire the water pump
Replace radiator hoses & add new clamps
Bolt on hood
Intake assembly
Exhaust (Y-pipe & cat-back)
Strut Tower Brace
Rear lowering springs

I think thats all it needs to get back on the road before I take it in for an alignment. I'd like to at least be able to drive it around the block for the first time in a long time!

Brian, the car is at my parents place in Hawthorne. I'd like to have it running by summer to get it painted.

If I am not dealing with finishing up my Bird in March then I would certainly be glad to lend a hand. Keep in touch.

Fighting a hangover and wrestling a rats nest of parts inside the car I wrenched and wrenched at the shifter base to fill the transmission up only to find it was sealed off! Whenever I see this car I get so overwhelmed I feel paralyzed there's so much to do!

gotta fill from the side, lol

PolarBear 03-15-2014 08:07 PM

T-56? There should be a hole at the bottom of the shifter area. I have always filled them through the shifter area

Teds89IROC 03-15-2014 08:26 PM

Yup, we pumped it in from the side
