Re: 1987 black Pontiac Firebird Formula

It's a good project car that actually runs. Just needs some TLC since it's been sitting.

Re: 1987 black Pontiac Firebird Formula

I am also giving the factory repair manual and Hanes manual to whoever buys the car. I bought the factory manual for about $50 and it's been pretty useful in conjunction with the Hanes manual.

Re: 1987 black Pontiac Firebird Formula

I also just realized that there is a small tear on the drivers seat, but where it is, it can easily be sewn back together.

Re: steering/suspension issue

That sounds like the brakes on the side that is pulling are bad. But I'm still learning :)

Re: BAD squeak while turning

Yeah the car has had two pretty recent previous owners, so I'm trying to evaluate what has and hasn't been changed and what needs to be replaced sooner rather than later.

The motor hasn't given me...

Re: Headliner Help!!!

Re: BAD squeak while turning

Re: BAD squeak while turning

Hmmm, would the bearings squeak like that though?

I'll probably have to wait until the weekend to work on the car at all, but I'll check the bearings.

Have you figured anything out about yours?
