- Hey guys welcome to today's videoconferencing this 1981 Pontaic Trans Am
gofund.me/f598...
Hello my name is Robbie Raglan I run a UA-cam channel, Fully Loaded Kustoms I build and restore Classic and Kustom cars.
Help me to restore this 1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am and bring this car back to life and bring it back to the curent owner Gary. So he can relive all the amazing memories of his Brother, Who passed away 15+ years ago and take one final ride in his brother's car.
Gary is the curent owner of this 1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am, this is his brother's car. His Brother purchased this car new from the dealership in 1981. However his brother passed away over 15+ years ago.
Gary is now 77 years old and like many other people. He had the goal and desire to rebuild and restore a lost family members car. To persevere those memories of their cherished loved ones. However at the price quoted at $25,000 - $35,000+ from the restoration shop many years ago, a price that's surely only gone up in today's market. His family wasn't able to financially cover the cost of the restoration. So his brothers car has sat for over 15+ years and moved around from barn, to garage, to feild, to the backyard where it sits now. In hopes of one day getting it restored.
This is where I come in. I build and restore Kustom and classic cars. I Bring these cars back to life to hit the open roads once again. I'm going to purchase this car from Gary build it and restore it back to the way it was in 1981 the exact way his brother had the car. I'm going to bring the restored Trans Am back to Gary. So he can relive all the amazing memories of his Brother and take one final ride in his brother's car knowing that it got restored the way his brother would have wanted it to be.
I'm going to film this entire build and put the series on my UA-cam channel FullyLoadedKustoms (link at bottom of description)
If you would like to sponsor this build in anyway, please get in touch with me Fullyloadedkustoms@gmail.com I will advertise your sponsorship on my UA-cam channel every video throughout the series. Let's bring back amazing memories for people together. I would love the opportunity to be able to do this for more people. There's tons of people out there who are in the exact same position that can't afford the restoration, I want to be the change for these people. Give them my skills of being able to build and restore classic and Kustom cars. Pick these classics up restore them and bring back the incredible memories of their cherished loved ones.
Every car has a new story to unfold, new friends to make and incredible places to see. Memories to be relived and new ones to be created that will last a lifetime. together we can help bring these classics back to the road for one more cruise down memory lane.
Thank you for your time your donations, Sponsorships, Likes, Shares, Comments anything that helps. I can do this for Gary I will do this for as many other people as I possibly can too.
and remember if it's not Raglan it's not Kustom.

Always wanted a TA from 77-81. Such a cool bird.
It's definitely a sweet Trans Am, I've had a 76 and 79 always love the style and the 79 Trans Am was the first car ever painted so I got a love for them.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Thank you for what you doing
Thank You I greatly appreciate that 🙏🏻
I watched your video last night. I hope you get to do the restoration for the owner. I donated to the cause. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much I greatly appreciate that 🙏. I've got a few paint jobs I'm doing over the winter, I'm going to put money aside from those and use that get this Trans Am restored. I would love to be able to grow my channel to the point where I could travel around and help my viewers restore and build cars for them that contain amazing memories. I think it would be an awesome thing to be able to do for people.
Thanks again for watching it's greatly appreciated 🙏
Makes me miss my Indy pace car......again
I've seen those Indy pace cars done up really nice. In the same town this one is located a guy has an 81 Firebird that's done as a tribute to I believe Dale Earnhart but it's done up red with nascar decals etc looks really cool
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
She is a beautiful bird. Had a 79 espirit firebird with a 301 two barrel. Way slow but I was 18yrs old. Sadly the under side of this car is probably gone. Spring shackles gone and leafs thru the trunk. Major reconstruction project. I wish you luck.
Oh yeah it's beautiful TransAm it would look all nice redone in the white and gold. Oh nice 79 Firebird what colour was it? I got a few of these I got a 76 and 79 and also an 83 Trans Am too. Thanks I greatly appreciate that
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Been lookin' at the 80/81 turbo t/a's. I remember these cars when new. If I could get my hands on one, I would.
Oh yeah, I used to have a a76 and 79. The first car I ever painted was a 79 Trans Am I would definitely love to pick up another 79 or 76 Trans am again
Thanks, most would shy away from T top models but those are the ones that I like the most! You should check the VIN & trim tag or build sheet? I think this car most be a very low build to be white with a/c & T tops and isn't a Daytona pace car.
@@MrJaybody-vd6eb I definitely like those T top models. I live close to the mountains out here in Alberta taking a drive through the mountains with the t-tops off makes for a fantastic time. I have an 82 Camaro that I'm looking at picking up. Going to do a roof swap on it from hardtop to t-top. Yeah that 81 I think would be a lower production being white and gold. Definitely did not see too many with that colour combination around.
@fullyloadedkustoms Yeah! I can't remember the last time I saw a white T top model that wasn't a Indy 500 pace car or the 81 Daytona 500 pace car. But I do like those as well but to kinda have something even a little more rarer would be so sweet! The good things about these cars is you can get just about everything you need to get them up & running and look nice and for it to be a Canadian car the rust it does have from what I seen from the video doesn't look that bad? If you don't have to deal with the suffrage or rear springs & shock mounts and shackles, you'll be home free in no time. And if you wanna keep the 301 turbo. There's a guy who does nice up grades for them that seem to work nice! If or when you get it going, it'll be a "show stopper" for sure!
Yes do it
I'm hoping I can work on a deal on this car in the next few months to pick it up rebuild it to orginal and bring it back to the owner.
I didnt realize you were an ontario boy, not sure if you know the name but Dave Connery airbrushed my 91 RS and your 85 is a beauty! Great memory to the 85 in the video- Mark
Hey thanks , Yeah my hometown is Pembroke Ontario just an hour outside of Ottawa there. I Moved out to Alberta around 2004ish. Haha I've definitely discovered a ton of Classic vehicles out here since being this way. I don't know the name of hand what kind of airbrushing did they do on your 91 RS Camaro?
I wish I could find one of those around me …. That’s my other bucket list car … I had a 81 firebird that I sold cause the engine blew … when I was 18….
I'm really hoping to be able to pick this Trans Am up in the spring. It would definitely look great all redone in the white and gold specs. Nice what color.was your 81 Firebird?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms it was black with a tan interior, auto, 3.8 v6 …. Tried swapping it out to a 301 but I was young , dumb and the internet wasn’t a thing so I had no resources, couldn’t get it running and sold it … $200 …🤦♂️
@68hotrodrs ohhh wow $200 for a Trans Am I would have loved to have seen those days. I remember being 19 in high school grade 10 back in 1999-2001 and looking at a road worthy blue vinyl top 69 dodge charger with a 440 for $5000. Haha, I really wish you could find deals like that now a days lol. Even remember a buddy in 2004 selling a red 80 Trans Am set to go for like $3200
@@68hotrodrs black and the Tan interior is such a nice combination on those Trans Ams
Can you come and restore my car please 😂
Has work started on this beauty yet?
Definitely, that is my goal for the UA-cam channel, when I can grow the channel to a million subscribers my plan is to help travel and help my subscribers build and restore their cars. Using all the sponsorships that I get for my videos. If you have ever seen Jimmy darts UA-cam videos I would like to do the same kinda thing, but my version of that would be to help subscribers build and restore their cars.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@fullyloadedkustoms that would be cool. You really do stand out as a UA-cam channel with the more in depth longer videos, not getting them in the UK and only usually seeing them on TV/Movies its great to see them in more detail. I was fairly lucky to drive a imported 1983 Firebird recently albeit not a very clean example and it's definitely something I'd consider if one came up at a reasonable price
@@fullyloadedkustoms keep making the good content and you'll soon grow
The parts alone will exceed $10,000. A rebuild on the engine and trans $5000. I think the restoration shop was quite reasonable if they could really do all that for $20,000 in labor.
somehow im suspecting there is more than $10,000 in parts & materials and it would run over that $10,000 quickly.
Maybe you can just get the chrome exhaust tips but the rear system with tips is $1000.
I have a 79 10th anniversary 400 4spd trans am an know what all those pieces cost to restore one like that.
100% biggest expense is paying someone else's time for them to do all the work. When I was working at the restoration shop in Calgary. The shop at that time (2018) was charging out $20k to do a repaint same color. Add in quarter panel replacement etc it's up over $30K easy. I believe they had the $20K quote for this car back around 2005-2008ish. I do all the metal work/paint body/interior etc. Allows me to keep the costs down on projects.
Thanks for watching and leaving comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
That 79 10th anniversary I bets a beautiful looking Trans Am I used to have a 79 Trans Am. It was the first car I ever painted.
Body shop would quote 100k today
Needs a 400 Eng...Scrap the Turbo...Shaker hood....
100% what I was thinking it needs the 400, I've got a 400 out of a 74 Trans Am sourced for it in Edmonton. On the Trans Am groups that's what most people where saying too the 4.9L lagged no horse Power. 400 the way to go with a classic shaker hood
Thanks for watching
Noooooo! Keep the turbo 301. Easy to get a 13 second car with better mileage too. The hood with the turbo lights is just as cool as the shaker. Have both and they are awesome at night. Grab a 79 for a shaker car.
@@thebigpicture2032 301 has Plastic timing gears...Long term its junk...400 is the way to go..
@@jct300m There’s a group that has successfully raced them for years and they’ve proved they aren’t junk. I remember when they said the Pontiac 400 was junk.
Do u still happen to have that 67 ss convertible?
I still have the 67 Impala SS convertible and64 impala as well. I just recently moved I'm looking to bring the vehicles over to the new place here right away.
If the owner let the car get that bad and your going to give it back ? Just wondering.
The orginal owner passed away around I believe it was 1999 the curent owner is is his brother. They had plans to restore it but couldn't afford the price the restoration shoo wanted. Because of the sentimental value behind it they have kept it.
Not meaning to be rude in any way but, that means they will let it sit and rust away. But , in the end it's theirs and they can do what they want with it. Seen it happen. @@fullyloadedkustoms
