thanks for compliment...18x8s and 20x9s....not a GTA, just like the metal birds so did the whole emblem set

midias, u should check out some of the powdercoat ideas some members have done with those wheels...overall nice work man

 

I may have to do that right now I am focused on getting the body done and the interior back in my wife is going to visit her family soon so I will have a month alone to play

 

Some nice Birds!

 

Thanks man! It's off the car now... I switched to a little 3" tin bucket which was pretty cool because it would smack speed bumps and other stuff but it ended up getting stolen while I was at work... Oh and I really like the paint scheme on your car by the way.


Thanks man! You should sand them down and paint them or hit them with some POR 15... metal louvers are really hard to find and fetch some decent money!


Thanks!

Nice cars kitt_me, GICATA, and midias... always nice to see the early third gens represented

And makS10, your engine bay looks great and so does the rest of the car!

Everyone's cars look so awesome... the clean cars look so sleek and beautiful and the "diamonds in the rough" have a certain sinister, post apocalyptic look to them. I still don't think there's such a thing as an ugly third gen Firebird haha.



BigbadGTA, what kind of camera do you use? Your pictures always come out crystal clear and the color's amazing... and your GTA's insanely clean too.

 

Was browsing some of the 91-92 birds on cardomain and came across this one...

midnightfire, thanks for compliments!!!

Mikey, i likey epsecially strut tower covers

CB, ----> .....INSANE, givin u ideas??? lol

 

Heres mine just got it for my 16th birthday in feb. anyone ever see the decal on the side? im gonna get it repainted and wanna get one made or buy one thanks.

 

GTA's don't have decals, that's what makes em a gta.

 

I know but i like the look with it on the side. i bought it like that i think they guy got it custom made.

 

looks good to me...what color emblems u have on it? BTW congrats on sweet bday gift

 

Some recent pics of the car after I started to take it apart for its rebirth...

 

its the original one just faded and cracked lol. and thanks.

 

I want to see more pictures of your interior!!!!

 

^i agree best Interior by far!!!

Some upgrades and FINALLY some nice weather so went for a cruise
New custom hard wood door panels done by local guy and ABS headliner

And some beautiful WV scenery (tygart lake)

and sorry for the pic wh*rring lol but just happy to drive it again

 

Loving the car Maks, i gotta put some pics of mines up soon....

 

88 Bright Red Notchback

 

Beautiful!!!!

 

looks great! So what's the details on these panels? You say they're wood, is that just the backing with vinyl/leather covering? They should last a lot longer than your stock particle board panels.

PS. I think you need a 4th gen center console!

 

^thanks man, good to see ur back on....4th gen console in future plans now that i have all interior repaired/replaced considering before with seats and headliner was torn and panels falling off...switched panels from the stock cardboard material to wood wrapped in black vinyl for the durability issues, now just need to switch more parts from grey to black

Karls thanks for compliments!!! Wheres this 91 formula???

Troy88, sweet notchback!!! Always like to see 'em..Very few of them around it seems like

 

In my driveway next to my camaro.....lol, trying to figure how to upload from my phone....
Im looking for a 4th gen trans am & 4th gen camaro dashes myself.

 

Thanks, Still restoring this baby....

 

91 Formula

 

sad to hear he sold that car (the_wraith)

 

 

your car is so gorgeous it hurts!

Have you done something to the lenses in the parkinglights? They seem more "red" than the original orange.

 

This is one sweet looking ride !!!!

 

Beautiful ride.....

 

I was unaware of that.. that's unfortunate. It's definitely unique in a good way.

Maks, really hard to see your door panels because the photo is so dark. The other pictures look amazing. The scenery around there is beautiful. I'll have to come visit you one day.

Update from my wheel shop...my wheels should ship to me by mid June. Keeping my fingers crossed. Still undecided on what tires but i've been thinking the Nitto Invo's.
Here are the wheels.

 

What kind of wheels are those? They look awsome!!!

Karl

 

BFGs!

 

The KDW-2's I can get for around the same price as the Invo's. Those were another option. I've never seen the Invo's in person, but have seen PLENTY of people running KDW2's.

Karl, they are XXR 526's. Brand new wheel for this year, some people have pre-ordered them and have been waiting 6 months. I've only been waiting 8weeks. Inexpensive wheel, but I don't drive the car much so they should last me till the day I have the cash to lay down on some custom forged wheels. Going mostly for looks so the weight of them is of no concern to me. Nice 91!! I would love a 91-92 Formula.

 

^indeed charcoal, just have to promise to bring the bird wheels should look great!!!

Karl, sweet formy!!! seems like the Z gets more attention i see lol

Bigbad, ill mention it every time, one of the cleanest ride on this site!!!

 

How much for those black wheels and do they need spacers?

 

The fronts in 18s have two offsets. 25et and 35et. With some upgraded brakes that set the mounting surface out further you wouldn't need any spacer. Stock brakes you would need a very very small one so I went with the 35et and 1.25" spacer for the front. Rears with 20et at 10.5" wide will fit without a spacer but I'm really hoping they don't stick out too far. According to <<86ta>> they will be flush with the outside of the fender lip.

 

85'_Tribute let me borrow her wheels for a minute. Here is my car on some GTAs.



Front end didn't settle yet.

 

Were you tanning next to your car?!?!?!?!?

 

Yes! But mostly using it so I wasn't laying in the dirt/grass.

 

Hey bro nice ride! I just had a quick question. Is your paint the metallic gun metal paint job? Or is it a type of primer? I was considering doing the same thing to my 88.

 

88' Trans am. Recently finished a L05 Type H 350 swap.Still a work in progress. Trying to get her done while being a sophomore in highschool and working. ALso,my dad works full time. Still rebuilding her.Pretty much all the mechanical parts are brand new from bumper to bumper.

 

Thank you and nice car Dylan! Factory my car was Gunmetal Metallic. The paint now is called Dark Shadow Gray which is a Ford color, I also had the Birds on the bumper and sail panels air brushed on in solid black.

 

are those tire track seat covers? That's unique

 

I use the same thing when i work on my cars.

 

Thanks tons!! and oh i see,thats awesome! Thanks so much for the info

 

Sure are! Theyre made by a makeoff brand called roadmaster

 

CB, gta wheels look sweet!!! Wheels look great with r/a hood and paint. Still waiting to see the new ones
BTW, forgot how nice FL weather is to be able to lay outside! Hows 85's t/a?

DylanJ, some nice work!!!

 

is it safe to assume that you have the same weather as me... ie... rain for 38 of the last 48 days or something crazy like that?

 

Today was a high of 81, partly cloudy skies, and a very slight breeze. Went golfing this morning, perfect weather.

 

Orinkra, how do u do this weather????????? yes, rain and 50 degrees in may?????? Right now id be shinin up the t/a goin to the beach in FL

 

I got bored when I pulled in the driveway so i took some with my phone, I thought it looked good haha
