Re: 1991 Firebird Project
Not completely done, but I am enjoying the hell out of the car now, so all is good! Between moving twice, company I worked for going out of business, and getting married all keeping me from the project, it feels good to see the light at the end of the tunnel.... unless that is the train.... lol

Re: 1991 Firebird Project
That's not the right front bumper for that car is it? They changed the bumper in 1991 to the "Endura" nose piece. My 91 has the new nose without the gap between the bumper and headlights.

Re: 1991 Firebird Project
Correct. I swapped them when I painted it with bumpers and ground effects from an 88. Check the earlier posts for pics before the restore.

A couple more pics, including one of it with my GTA finally at home in the garage together. Still a few things to finish, but it is almost done.

Re: 1991 Firebird Project
Thanks everyone. I have the TT2s still. Thinking about selling them with the tires. Only have about 500 miles on them and tires are same as new.

Re: 1991 Firebird Project
Small update, been years since I have. Removed my antenna and replaced the spolier with a Hawks one. Decals added. Last summer for the current engine, then LS swap this coming winter.

Good looking car. I much prefer this front end to the bulbous 91-92 nose.
