Re: Post your firebird pics
Hey guys! I just found this great thread. So I thought I would post a few pics of my '89 GTA
I'm in the process of putting an LS1/4L60E in it.

Should be sweet once I get it finished.

Re: Post your firebird pics
dprest68, i've seen you car over on Fl-Thirdgen....has been quite a while since then. Good to see your upgrading the drivetrain. I sometimes go up to Deltona and enjoy the Blue Springs. Your only about an hour and half from me.

Drop me a PM the next time you're going to be in the area. Maybe you can drop by and we can chat for a bit. That would be cool.Dave

Re: Post your firebird pics
Yeah, They would have originally been on a 77/78 T/A. I got mine from Yearone. They're reproduction 15x8's. They have them with different color paint in the inner part of the deign, I chose silver to match my coming paint scheme. They fit just as well as the originals do, I wouldn't go wider than that in the front though...

Re: Post your firebird pics
It's under restoration now Going in the paint booth this winter, and going with black w/ truefire bird on the hood and b-post. Mild custom. Since the car has a newer fascia and tail I don't see the reason to go original on the paint sceme

Re: Post your firebird pics
Bigbad, awsome canyon pics!!!
Basically been waiting on door panels, bent a wheel driving over a boulder (now finally fixed after 1 month!!!!), so in the time the t/a sat i decided to polish tpi plenum. Didnt actually finish since it takes an INSANELY long time to do but big difference from before...

3. Install newer seats and carpet.
4. Rewire back up lights
5. Install aluminum drive shaft and replace fluids
6. Replace e brake cable
7. Install sub frame connectors
8. Install 2.02 vortec heads
9. Drive till trans or clutch dies then back to work
