Since hes too much of a slacker to start one ill give him a bump

Heres a pic of the car, for those who dont know the history of it, he picked it up off another member here; Ryan (92whitez28) last week for a good price


Its very clean, good set of louvers on the rear, nice paint, mint interior with a sub box to boot lol

Chris is helpin out with a rebuild, tomorrow were gonna limp it out to my place and pull the motor so we can get it off to him ASAP, rings are blown pretty much, blowin oil out the dipstick but it was still a steal IMO

 

That is an awesome car. I am glad he got a nice car, he deserves one. Tell him to stop being lazy and log in!!

 

I will get to work on the engine as soon as I can. Definately want to see that one on the road again! (that's why I'm working out the deal with payments) More interested in having another person in our group. We are going to make this thing very reliable and fun to drive again!

 

Is he still alive? Computer broken? FINGERS BROKEN? LOL. Need more pics!

 

 

Cool! He's alive!! LOL! Did you guys get the motor out yet? Nice pics!

 

soocrispy where in Peoria are you??

 

im at 67 avenue and bell but im in peoria,az not illinois. and no we didnt get the motor out yet cause andy keeps leaving me alone n idk what the hell to do. ha i could tear the motor out no problem but i wouldnt know how to put it back together!

 

LOL, tell him to stop being so lazy!! One of the advantages of being young is having the energy to do things!!!

 

Any progress on this? C'mon, I wanna see an empty engine bay!!! (I have one of my own but I wanna see what it looks like in grey!) LOL

 

jeeeez man slow down a ripped apart firebird is the same in all colors lol
just to humor your curiosity tho here ya go

it took us forever and a half because i work too much and we could only get in like 2 hours a day because QC freeeeezes at night lol

 

I should have this engine completely torn down by Sunday night. Have to find the time to do so.

 

See, that wasnt so hard was it? LOL They dont look the same in any color....

 

alright chris no rush, hes workin with my dad cleaning new construction houses for the $ should have some on friday so we'll keep you posted

as far as the engine bay goes were cleanin that thing up, im getting a ton of degreaser and goin at it, probly gonna paint it while we have the motor out too hes a big fan of black so thats probly gonna be it, i think itll look pretty tight being charcoal gray with a black bay

 

little picture session. for the record standing on the motor while pulling it is a highly professional level of engine removal lol


i nearly lost my hand at this point, it was hung up on the tranny so i swung it forward a little and didnt stop to think "hey maybe thats gonna swing right back to where im resting

 

Your hands are important and crushing one really hurts! (Trust me I know) LOL As far as professionals standing on the motor... Well every mechanic I have seen do that has a special pair of high-heels he uses for "Motor dancing" LOL

 

Oh and BTW. GM uses black on their engine bays now anyways, so it'll look pretty cool. Make sure to use a semigloss.

 

The shoes are a necessity like the short skirt you would need while flashing people during your engine dance!

 

Oh, Yeah! I did that once and almost made a whole dollar! (I think it might have been the G-string that drove them away....)

 

UPDATE*****
Chris got it torn down, 6 out of 8 top rings shot, 1 out of 8 lower rings fried

Turning the crank should be about$65 do im gonna front brenamin the $ on wed when i get paid

 

You are a nice guy, Andy! What a truly good friend. See, friends help each other! LOL, couldnt resist, in light of the subject of our earlier conversation.

 

yeah well its partially my responsibility, after all i helped get him into this by playing devils advocate lol

besides this car is B/A and i want to see it on the road again (and/or drive it) lol

 

I told you it was badazz!! All it really needs is it's hood painted and a wing....

 

hey i live at 67th and bethany and know the wiring back to front and can help u tune
i will hopefully have mine running by fri and be at the car show with my bad beast..

let me know if u need help

 

lol hes east side now we just got an apartment in mesa we got chris on the rebuild right now should be done in a week or two

 

it will be cool to see it run without a cloud of oil smoke behind it..D)
Tire smoke is ok, though....

 

actually it was pretty sweet not being able to see the traffic behind us

 

ur going to school for that rebuild it urself

 

hahaha fuuuunny lol i have that whole lack of time/experience/ equipment and space something tells me my landlord would be a little pissed to see a motor chillin in the living room

 

LOL, thats true! Besides, I cant think of anyone better to build my motor than chris! He is old school!
