Here's mine...
1988 Trans Am
5.7/Auto, 9 Bolt B/W w/3.23 gears
180k miles, seen better days. But I'm 17 and she's all mine.
I named her Matilda

Sweet car!!! I really like the color too. Great ride to have at 17, to be young and just hop in it and cruise around with friends, summer memories made.

Re: Post your firebird pics
I know he doesn't look like much. Hell, right now he isn't much. He's missing half an engine, the spoiler and hood are both in dire need of replacement. Most of what's in there right now is scrapped parts from elsewhere. But y'know, I think there's a certain beauty to be seen in potential. I look at the cars in this thread, and to Duke, and I really get that. Just wanted to say hi to the community, and I wanted to say thanks to everyone for being chill. I look forward to building Duke up and maybe getting to show some of you the progress along the way.

Re: Post your firebird pics
I always liked that Maui blue. A local lady had one in hardtop and she let it sit up for years I tried buying it numerous times. She wouldn't sell it and ended up dying and I don't know where it went from there.

Re: Post your firebird pics
It's been a while since I posted some pics here... these are recent.
The embroidered floor mats really helped out the interior. The wire looms went on when my headers were installed 2 weeks ago, good blend of form and function I think.

Re: Post your firebird pics
dmc do you have a thread for your car?! Went looking for it but couldnt find it if you do. If you dont i think you should start one asap! You have a great car!
Also, have you ever thought about tinting the windows? Would look real nice with the red and black you have, imo.

Re: Post your firebird pics
I had a thread for when I was getting it ready for paint. I think I will refrain on tinting this car but I agree it would look good. Its a job doing the back glass and a job getting it off when it goes wrong lol. I'm focusing now on an engine swap next and hope that wraps this car project up. Kinda looking for a stick shift f-body or Corvette to keep her company. Thank you for the nice comments.

Re: Post your firebird pics
The dash pad is the factory Firebird pad with a glued-on plastic cover that I got from 1A Auto. The old one had a bunch of cracks. The new cover was really easy to install.
