how do you all think? just finished my 3year project.
body is 83. and thats only part what´s original in my car these days

 

WOW Finland huh...Beautiful car, what color is that? Good to see 3rd gens from all over the world. Great job

 

thank´s!! color of my car is custom made. pearl black/metallic violet/burble/electric blue. this paint shop employee was amazed by this paint first time he saw that color

i gave him 3L can of paint and my car, and told him to paint my car. 5days later he called me, and first thing he said on the phone was "what cind of a f*cking color is this????" XD.

I was also thrilled when i saw my car after paint job. Even i wasn´t sure what kind this color would be

 

Whats burble???

 

burble is middle shade of violet and pink.

 

Purple not burple perhaps? Don't like the wheels much but it's a clean looking car.

 

yea...... purple... sorry..
I concur with you, about wheels.. they got too much of that "european" look. But you cannot imagine how hard it was to find even those wheels for this car from finland.
because here´s only about 25-30 3gen firebirds in whole country. Mostly the wheels in stores, are made for european cars . those wheels are actually BMW´s. 5X120

 

Most reason for this, is that these cars are very expensive here, and second reason is the cost of fuel. 1L=1.49€ so one gallon in dollars is 8.88$

 

Yeah BMW rims will fit 3rd gens, go figure...hahaha
----------
Yeah I heard gas is expensive outside of the U.S.

 

They do fit... see your self.. there´s my wheels "DEZENT 18"

FIREBIRD bolts are 5X4.75inc = 5X120,65mm
and bmw 300series 5X120mm

 

by the way,,,here´s our club..

in section "galleria" you can find pictures from cars around finland.

Gas price here in town has gone up to 4 dollars a gallon for the top stuff Get some BMW wheels with a nice dish instead of the spokes flush with the sidewalls, look a million times better then I think

 

"4 dollars a gallon for the top stuff????
you lucky bastard!!
about those wheels, in a way i like those, but that must be because they´re new! and my winter-wheels look like sh*t, but i suppose you´r right about that, but main reason for buying those, were.. low price only 559€ (or 599??)
and those were closest one´s with original firebird wheel offset.

i hope my writing is correct?

 

Writing is fine 4 dollars is getting up there for here. I was looking through some pictures from 2004 and prices were half of what they are now. Plus diesel was much cheaper than anything else, now it's the most expensive!

 

Brilliant job on the car. And I actually really like those wheels myself. Really makes the Firebird stand out--its different--a good different too.

 

thanks!!!
