Your Bird is looking really good!

The T/A wheels look good on your car. I like the 4th gen seats they look good with the red exterior.

That sway bar must have made a difference in handling. I bet your taking the curves alot faster now.

This car handles excellent now. The lightweight 4banger and the tight suspension really rides it on rails.

I was blessed with a great deal on the seats. I think they look awsome in the car. I have no regrets selling the original buckets...

I don't have too many future mods for the car. Im going to keep it pretty much as close to stock as I can. I would like however to build up the suspension some more.

I will leave the mods to my other firebird project. 84 S/E. Ive got a trans am hood and fendors on it now....just need to take some pictures. I also have a set of grid 85 T/A taillights on the car. I am keeping my eyes peeled for a 350 to drop in the place of the 2.8L H.O. V6

What ride are you rollin'?

The red car was my first car ever so Im not selling it. I will sell the S/E after I getting it fixed up. I know there are bigger and better birds out there. Im not into the speed issue (it would be nice though) Im in it for the projects of fixing and restoring fbodies to keep them on the road instead of a compactor.

I only have one Turd-bird and it's the brown one. Im quite proud of the work and the turn out of the Red bird thank you very much.

I agree with Bill. I will NEVER sell my bird, even if it is pretty slow. Good job with the fog lights, seats, and suspension. It looks great. I can imagine people's faces when they ask if it's an eight cylinder and you say, "No, it's a four!"

Most of the time its like this.....

"It's a four cylinder".....(they take a step back and there eyes kinda get wide open then they squint....) "Really?" they reply...thinking Im joking or something....

Mostly this follows with a chuckle..."I didn't know they did that...hmm...that's a shame."

Ive gotten use to it. Actually I think it's really funny to see and hear their reactions. I get a kick out of it.

Where'd you get them, and how much? If i end up buying the camaro i'm looking at, i'll have to deal with my red interior, and i think those seats are perfect for it. little red, little black.... doesn't burn the retina as bad.
