Well, to start off, this will be a log of work I plan to do, work I have done, photos and misc. other crap. I am looking for help, suggestions and support.
Today I passed NJ emissions, with half the vaccum lines dissconnected. What the hell, Will post the numbers later. Fuel additives seem to work well or something, New O sensor, new plugs and wires, Fuel additives: STP cleaner?, seafoam and fuelon "all more than required amount, by non signifigant portions" Now this car has only had 2 tanks of gas run through it, after 2 years of sitting unused, possibly run intermittently.
Failed for safety, needs exhaust bracket "hangers don't work anymore??" alignment "$65 at the place i'm going to, "and a rear brake job, can do myself?"
Mind you, just slammed new "less rusted" doors on it "they don't have holes in the sides like the originals did." They're not aligned, so, hard to close but passed for that because when closed they latch properly. "going to do it properly when I run the wires to add the power locks, my 87' had them but the 84' didn't. The lock button will be located on the center console by the window switches, instead of the stock door positions.
Anyway, thats all for now. Red,black two tone with crappy painted all black doors.
10 day trans check, everything is fine. need to adjust doors, they havent been touched since I whipped them on. Need to glue the carpet on in some spots of the interior panels, need to vaccum and carpet clean the inside. Installed the jvc exad radio, took a lot of modding because my universal mount wasn't quite right. May not have even been for an Fbird. Need to get a powerlock switch and mod the center console to hold it, then wire the locks up. need to change the tail of the hatch over to my 87's with the stock spoiler, figure out the vaccume lines, remove the d/ced a/c parts, flush and clean the coolant, clean the reserve tanks and replace the peepee juice motor for wipers. clean the engine compartment and figure out the jumbled directions on doing the timing. and figure out where the hell the distributer bolt thing is, to loosen and turn accordingly. need to switch to 4th gen belts. finish the door weather stripping. Finish removing small bits of rust, prime and paint. rig up the CAI/ram air into the front bumper, remove the front seats and finish removing rust on brackets before it fubar's the carpet.
Thats all for now.

Reason: photos
Wonderful. Had an operation on thursday morning. They F'ed it up and I have been blind till this afternoon. Left eye is fine, cornea is really messed up in my right, it got scratched -really- bad. So, both eyes closed since then because if you look left, both eyes go left. right eye needed dead still.
Anyway, pain, no biggy. Blind, horrible. Broke from insurence crap, Lawsuit.
"been living on water and puddin since thursday"
How it relates to the firebird. Just found out at 11pm tonight sunday june 22 2008. Someone either vandalized my car, or hit and ran. Taillight is broken, dunno what else. Why??????? I got royally screwed, no junks in this area have one, my deductable is what 3 of em cost "provided thats all the damage" and my last resort is hoping classic industries has one.
After my doctors appointments tomorrow, then paying aamco a bit more on my trans. I'm going to get pictures for insurance.
BUT!!! what the hell, its an old Fbird, go knock over the for sale motorcycle acrossed the street, its 20ft away. maybe fubar the expensive cars. this damn thing was right outside my house, of which I haven't been at due to 24hr care since I been blind.
Anyway, add this to the alignment and brakes I can't afford but need to pass inspection. and my gf's tires which need mount and balance. then alignment.
$60+/- for mount balance $60+/- for alignment ??for Fbird brakes "hoping I can do myself as soon as bandages are off, "can't wait the 2 more weeks to heal" And now a tail light +w/e else.
I hope it was a HnR because Vandals are pathetic. Plus one day they'll get whats coming to them...
Edit: It was parked right where it is in the above pics, Don't move it far from there. My fav spots were under the tree and where it is. Guess i'm gonna have to move it to a safer place.
well, luck has it my way. The weather was nicer, vision a little better and very very faint scratches in the bumper. Had to get right up on it and brush it a bit, the contractors will be hearing from me tomorrow and paying for a new light.
.....anyone got one for sale? i'll take a set please.
edit: packing was taken out, eye was checked and almost healed so vision is good. damn cornea, swelling is down and no bandages, no more hydromorphone -aka.- "dilaudid" which was needed for my face.
now, waiting on the bill that my insurance won't pay. dun dun dun, debt... The car will be getting its brakes and alignment soon, then a new rear diff plate "one with a drain or fill or w/e" because the diff is so rusted, and probably fubar from no oil changes.
I still wish vandals would get kicked in the balls, every day, by jackie chan.

long time not posting, anyway. taken her to a few places, getting some work done. apparently they need a "specialist" to tune a carb.
New job for me i guess.. got new rear tails, will post photos as soon as installed and polished. never got the *** that hit me, know who it is but yeah. Its been too long and everyone keeps telling me to drop it. I still might not drop it. cost me $90..thats a lot of money.
getting reinspection, dont expect any problems, rear brakes getting fixed and i put in the exhaust strap.
Doors need aligned, tired of slamming them, any ideas on how to without buying tds's tool? I tried lifting the doors with jacks, all it did was raise the car a little.. stupid probably. guess i'mma search here and probably buy the tool, to use 1 time.
I wish vandals horrific things.
