firebirds

ok well i have a 1983 camaro Z28 that i am selling, it is my first car, it has a freash 355 in it and a great TH70R4, but i am looking into buying a manual firebird, trans am, or GTA, and i was wondering if some of you owners of these cars (firebird, trans am, or GTA) could post some pictures of your cars and the mods you have done to them. from new interior lights to full out street setup. thanks

Mine is a 305TBI for now...

Gonna do the motor swap this summer to a 350 or sbc400 TBI. Im in the process of building a TBI off a 454 for the swap.
In Feb. Im getting headers,cat-back, and 3.73's !

The only thing Ive done so far is the interor, new carpet,console, headliners............looks good.

Mine is in the sig. Looking for 98-02 T/A LS1 6SPD, after investing almost $8K in my, i realize that it doesn't show, and the car always gives me problems. I've had a lot of fun with it over the past three years, but its gettin really lame.

Later,

Dave
