Pics of My Car

Here is my car...



...and before anyone says it, yes, I know it looks like a POS, I just haven't addressed the looks yet. Go before show; at least when it does look fast it'll have the ***** to back it up BTW, the 'bird' will definitely NOT make it onto my new paint job.

Here's the engine bay...



It's a lot cleaner now; these pics are a few weeks old. The AFPR isn't in any of these pics; the first one I got leaked everywhere. Here's another shot...



That's it for now, let me know what you think. Happy Memorial Day!!!

Mike

Actually, I plan on hooking the AC back up soon, I only have the dryer in that pic to illustrate where I moved the heater control valve, because I know a lot of people want to do that mod.

BTW, nice engine yourself

Nice car dude. But I think you got something wrong, that's not an 88 Firebird! That is a 1984 Firebird Trans Am with Aero Package... Just FYI

Not yet, the engine only has about 30 miles on it so far. I'll wait until it has about 500 before I blow his doors off

It's an 88...the previous owner wrecked it and put an 84 front bumper on it. In a few weeks, it'll have 85-90 TA bumpers on it w/ GFX all around.
