85 Firebird SE Project Car

Just wanted to show you guys my new project for the winter. 1985 Firebird SE 5.0L. I only paid $440 for the car with 90,000 miles on it. It needs work, but I think it was well worth the money especially since the engine/trans run flawlessly. Here is a picture. I will upload some more later today. Let me know if you guys think it was a steal or not .

Re: 85 Firebird SE Project Car

I am already working on sanding the car down to give it a paint job. I need to find a new hood, drivers fender, and door before I can get it done. Then I am going to move into the interior. It's in rough shape. Missing the headliner and overhead console, carpet and door panels are garbage, and seats are ripped up. Lots of little things too. The previous owner had no automotive knowledge at all. The taillights and dash lights didn't work, and the headlights wouldn't go up and down. He told me it had wiring problems. First thing I did is checked the fuses and guess what, there were two blown. I replaced them and that fixed those problems. So far I feel like it was a good buy.
