Re: 1991 Bird
I’m not sure about the Duralast Max Semi-Metallic Brake Pads (DGC154MSD). I changed them back in Nov. 2018, Post #61 and the low pad wear indicators became audible this past week
Front Brake Pads $0.00 (AutoZone)
Front Caliper Bolts $8.74

Yeah, I have "Personalized Plates" so the money I pay to renew my Special Interest License Plate goes to the program or charitable cause that each specialized plate supports. I have Environmental Plates, so the Fee is $43.00 for renewal. See Post # 14 for Original Special License Plate Fee.

Re: 1991 Bird
Hmmm, I’ve never experienced “Second Failure Mode” but “First Failure Mode” is unavoidable due to the aging of the headlight components. Does this mean the other black convertible top with a glass window you referenced a while back is available, or is that a different top ?

I’m quite pleased with the Yokohama AVID Ascend GT front tires from Post #76. Unfortunately the AVID Ascend GT is not available in a 275 width. Opted instead for the Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S.
Rear Tires $361.37

Attending RADWood SoCal 2019
I didn't attend last year for 2018 and I was bummed out
I'd like to:
Replace the Hood
Replace Sun Visors
Replace the Carpet and buy some Floor Mats.
Wash, Clay & Polish (SCHEDULED)
Replace Rear Brake Shoes & Drums
With the 2019 Holiday's around the corner it might be tough to budget since I'm probably looking at + $500

Re: 1991 Bird
I haven’t been driving 91 Bird these past few months due to the Winter season. It’s the first time since taking ownership back 2017 that 91 Bird hasn’t been my daily driver
I found a bottle of brake fluid under the kitchen sink and decided to perform a brake fluid exchange. I cleaned the brake fluid reservoir with some acetone & cotton ***** since it was completely covered in gunk. The brake fluid was brown and in dire need of replacement. I’m a little bummed that I somehow failed to service the brake fluid for so long
Bought this Firebird Emblem on eBay for $20.00 to spruce up my engine bay.
Firebird Sail Emblem
I haven’t got around to installing the carpet I purchased last year because when I pulled the old carpet I noticed some areas in the floorboards that need attention.
With Spring around the corner I hope to have more updates soon...

Re: 1991 Bird
Unbelievable picture. Anybody can you show me at least one of the new convertibles which looks great like this? I suppose no
