it's an 1983 firebird

 

Looks good nabor ..... how does it run? ....

 

You got your work cut out for you, but a nice coat of paint and the right nose, and she'll be gorgeous!

 

a diamond in the rough.

 

runs great i drive her almost every day i'm trying to find the 83 nose for her i've got a cracked 87 nose on her now, i'm painting her as soon as i get a new nose for her

 

Congrats on the great find... finding the 83 nose isn't that hard its finding the inserts for the 83 nose that is a pain in the ***...

I'll be sure I look out for both of you (Demon79 and Rick1805) next time I'm in Bradley, IL... thats where my wife is from...We visit once a year...

 

I'm hoping to have it ready for Thirdgen fest in may

 

well i will see you there and see it in person.

 

where is the thirdgen fest??

 

Looks like you have a nice foundation for a resto project.

 

I may have an 83 nose for you, depending on who buys my 83. I have grilles too, but they need blue paint taken off.

Anyway, you and 83 Recaro both should check out the Early Third Gen boards. They're great for those early Birds and spotting differences. http://earlythirdgen.com/forums

Classic industries has the inserts. pretty cheap too if i remember right

 

I just looked in their online catalog... $109 for a reproduction pair or about $80 per side for GM originals. I have an original passenger side one lying around in good condition that i'd sell.
