Hi Hogge....welcome to the boards.

Nice looking car ...looks like an '88...have one just like it.

Clean engine.....one recommendation here tho.

Get rid of the header wrap. I can tell you first hand that it will cause you problems.

Check this thread....

Very sweet looking 3rd Gen! I'm sure it qualifies as "exotic" in Sweden. Ever see any others driving around up there?

Welcome to the forum!

How much has that car been lowered? It looks really good. I can tell it's been taken care of.

Again, glad you join us!

Welcome. I own a 350 TPI Firebird vert in the Midwest. How much of your car's life was lived overseas?
Very nice, but like a few, removing the rear plenum extention to show your wiring off... I'm trying to get mine back on but misplaced my screws! hehe

Very clean ride- a little on the low side for my taste, but sharp nonetheless!

Sharp Cadillac and Oldsmobile wagon in the picture as well! Wow, I never knew there were classic muscle cars in Sweden! :rockon:

They even have Chevys hauling the cars around on trailers!

I think I would feel right at home over there.

Slick rides, gents. It's clear that only the best TLC goes into 3rd Gens there.
