1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am review from North America
"The perfect car for a 16 year old who likes to show off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The left window motor went up. It was not very expensive to replace, it was fairly easy to replace.
The A.C. hose received a hole in it, so I no longer have A.C., I cannot find another hose for it.
The interior needs to be re-done.
Need to sand blast some rust spots away.
Need a patch panel for the left rear quarter panel because there is a rust hole about 4 to 6 inches across.
General comments?
This is my first car and I love it. it doesn't have a lot of horsepower, but it is very quick.
I dragged race a Honda civic about 2 weeks ago and blew it away. Even though this car has 144 thousand miles it still as good as the day we got it.
Lots of my friends like the body style and they enjoy it when I take them on back roads for a joy ride.
I enjoy how the car handles through the turns.
I'm getting ready to have the interior re-done, and re-paint the car.
