Well, I have a rusty 1992 t top Firebird, I-CAR certifications, lots of tools, but not a lot of experience... so I thought I'd ask a bunch knowledgeable 3rd Gen owners for some tips on bringing my rotting Pontiac back to life (and looking good), and how to keep her from rusting! I will post some pics once I can upload them to my computer. So, has anybody else restored a car with holey floor pans, rear wheel wells, and rust on the firewall? Don't worry, at least the rockers are pretty much in tact

 

Post some pics! You know us guys respond to visual stimuli!

 

PM me if you want info on restoring a car, I restore cars for a living

 

Most of us do it as a hobby.

 

I realize that, that is why I offered my professional opinion. I have been in the restoration business for 10 years. There isn't much I haven't seen.

 

I am also at the very beginning of what will be a long restoration/LSX conversion of a '91 v6 Firebird. I will also be watching this thread for tips. Thanks!

 

So, after we started restoring the floor pans (pictures below) in this thing, I came across a 1982 Z28 with crossfire injection, 82k original miles, all power options plus cruise control, posi, and the best part is.. FLOOR PANs haha, so I decided to call it quits on the Firebird, and take that one for $1500 instead

so yea, i'm parting it out if anybody needs Firebird parts

 

those pans are screwed haha, my car needs some rust work like yours but it is nowhere near as bad...camaro's are sweet, enjoy

 

yea i'm gonna miss my Firebird though.. we had good times and niether of my Camaros have t-tops someday i'll find a better one

 

Subscribed, my Camaro has lots of rust under the car as well. Need somee ideas of restoring. if it will be too expensive I may have to sell it and find a car without so much rust.
