Got new pics of my 82 S/E ...post your good/bad thoughts

Here you have my pics :


Notice the Formula Wing and Taillights


I covered the front grilles with Vinyl cause i hate the "aging" look of the grilles ..when i covered it ..it remains me the plain inserts on 84 T/As


Here i Blackouted the Reverse and Turn lights cause i dont like the Orange lights and the Red Section work as Parking lights and Turning lights ..I had to Make a wire mod cause 82-84s have the outer light Brighter so i got all the lights of the same intensity and when i brake it lights like a normal 89 light does and this section Blinks when i turn.


Here i am in 1999 when my car used to be Blue im with some friends a 86 Fiero,89 Formula 350,92 Camaro RS,My 82 S/E(Blue),73 Firebird,87 Firebird,75 Camaro LT.

Thank you guys Ħ
i would like to have a better car but here in Chile i cant find the parts for my plans
i like the 85-90 T/A look or a 91-92 nose with Ram air Hood or a 2 inch Cowl hood but if i get that stuff from USA i had to pay Double in Taxes ĦĦ
I found the Taillights in Mexico and if i would get there 10 minutes earlier now i would have 91-92 T/A tails ĦĦĦĦbut i lost it
and the rear wing is from a 89 Formula that the owner didnt like the wing ...

Why does the side of your car say Formula 350? (if it doesnt say that, then what does it say?)

dOOd! I saw a pic of your car with TT2s, and it looked bad, you definitely need some of those, and some 315s out back!

Nice work Sammy, can't wait until you get it finished.
