Hello from The Netherlands

[Kenji]

Hi everyone,

I'm Kenji, 39 years old and live in The Netherlands.

After a car carreer of Japs only, I have just ventured into the US car world myself.
When I was young(er) I always tagged along with my uncle to US car shows with his '78 Mercury Cougar XR7 and was fascinated by the big, burly cars.

So now I have one of my own, a '94 TransAm.
I hope to learn a lot about the car here.

It's been an absolute blast driving this car daily to work. Even in the snow it handles great (and that coming from me, having owned a track-spec RX7 and 500 bhp Toyota).

Several things needed fixing, due to bad choices and neglect from previous owner, and some things upgraded:

- rear tires were seriously rubbing on the inner arches, so I repaced them for slightly narrower rubber
- the Corvette wheels were once chrome, but neglected, so the chrome was peeling off.
Cleared them of loose chrome, and painted them silver for now, till I get them blasted and powdercoated (would black be a good look?).
- serpentine belt was slipping, previous owner fitted a belt that was too long.
- alternator wasn't charging properly.
- rear shock were worn.
- front and rear stabilizer bar uplinks were worn.
- stock radio replaced with modern headunit.
- stock aircleaner replaced with cold air intake.
- fitted 1" spacers on rear wheels.

That's about it for now... Time for pictures

sounds like you have been quite busy keeping the car maintained. Personally I dont care for black wheels but your car your choice, wonder if a complementary green would work?
