Re: Hi from Ukraine!

Nice Firebird there and a very nice engine you built for it!

I'm in Moscow for work a couple of times a year and think I only seen a 4th Gen Camaro out there never seen any 3rd Gen's ...

Post some pictures from any of the events your club attends, would be nice to see the 3rd Gens all together.

Re: Hi from Ukraine!

I saw a two-tone white/cream v6 Camaro in Odessa a few years back. I stopped to look at it and everyone was asking me what it was, the styling of them is so different from even the western euro cars, they really get a lot of attention.

I can imagine how difficult and expensive it was to get all the right parts to fix and customize your Firebird. Nicely done and very unique even for here, let alone in Kiev.

Re: Hi from Ukraine!

I'm not that familiar with the interior options for 3rd gens as I only recently got mine.
Something however looks oddly familiar. Oddly in that I own a 3rd gen camaro with exactly the smae type of seats.

I have seen some offers for firebird seats but those generally showed significantly different seats in a different style.

Apart from adding leather, did you or the previous owner by any chance fit a camaro interior in the car or was the stock interior option for both cars identical?

You have a fine car. Great looking engine.

Re: Hi from Ukraine!

Some pre season mods changin colos . more powerfull engine . more HD 700R4 . new drivetain parts . wheels . Brakes . more body work . welding etc

welding the body , installing something like subframe connectors , removing the ground effects . changin color

V6 is for police registration and change color , becouse here in Ukraine we have very big taxes for 3.5L + engines , many many people make fake pics with little motors and pay much more less money

Nice car! 350 V8 rocks! Mine will also have one soon...
Could you tell us a bit more of those special shipping companies, 'cause I can't find the way to ship the heavy parts for an acceptable price...

Thanks in advance & best regards from Hungary!

Re: Hi from Ukraine!

High first of all you have a very nice car but in my opinion you should lower the car a bit!, I wanted to ask you who are the companies who ship heavy parts to you with low cost as I have the same problem to import parts as you as I live in Malta Europe

Nice ride. Only saw one 3rd gen while I was in Odessa. Wish I could find a Volga 3110 over here, something about that car I love.
