Reason: repost link
Finished mechanical refresh. When I bought the car in February, it was pretty much original, unopened. 29 years and 117,000 miles ago. Hoping to change only what was needed to get it running right. Ended up doing everything chasing one problem or another. Yesterday, powertrain ran perfect. Last problem solved. Time for a break and pay down some debt.
stopped at Walmart to get something for dinner and as I was leaving a group of younger kids standing next to their little lowriders started looking as I drove by. one of them yelled "tight firebird". made me grin.

LMAO I love it! I spent yesterday washing and scrubbing and shining to get my Camaro lookin' tight
I'm starting to have an intermittent issue with the passenger headlight. if I hit the headlights right when I start the car the passenger side doesn't want to come up. if I dive a block or so and hit the lights they both pop up fine. are they electric motors with vacuum assist? it seems like its a vacuum issue.
Yes sir, I did. Had to buy the entire HVAC unit, just to get the ****. $60. Makes me wish I had waited, but the radio **** had to go. Thanks for hooking me up, though.
The more I thought about it............ Dang, might as well get this one, too. Hit the buy it now tab & it will be on it's way. Thanks again for the link, NoE.
I redid my dry erase garage project board for the firebird. most of the projects on the list had been crossed through so I cleaned it up and made my list cleaner and easier to follow. looks like I have headlight hi beam switch, headlight vacuum issue, noise in the rear end, seatbelt retaining loop. not a huge list really. the noise in the rear end concerns me though. when I'm sitting at a stop and hit the gas to take off any faster than a crawl it sounds like a "snap"! maybe a broken shock or shock mount? something seems like its moving when it shouldn't be.
I'm hoping to crawl under it today and check the shocks, shock mounts, u joints , trans mount, basically everything under there to see whats moving before it becomes a problem.
I'm glad I got my heat fixed. its 30 degrees out this morning. that's just stupid. jworks you putting that in or taking it out. I need need to put one in mine. was it hard to get in?
took it out, I'm having the elastic on my overhead console replaced while it's out so I'm not sure when it's all going back in, probably gonna be a 2 man show getting it back in
Headlight emblem. My old one was gone before I bought the car and Ive been able to find these for sale in Gold but not Silver. Luckily found a member on here that had this NOS.
Just opened the pkg Saturday, as it was nothing but a back up. Good thing I did when I did, because they sent me a **** for a Firebird.http://www.ebay.ca/itm/85-92-FIREBIR....c100005.m1851 Contacted the seller & notified him about the error. He apologized for his employee's mistake & is sending me the proper one. Anybody need an HVAC fan control **** for their 3rd gen bird?

It was a very nice day today so I thought I would detail my truck and the Camaro. Not sure if anyone else uses Ammo NYC products but the Ammo Reflex (nano coating) and Ammo Skin made my paint look like glass. I highly recommend it.

Plasti dip the coolant reservoir today... Till I get a new one to replace it, was looking really faded. Figured a quick change for now. Cheers from Toronto.
haven't done any work to mine in a while. ive been driving it daily and its doing well. there are a few things that need to be done before the bead weather is here to stay. new wipers, seatbelt guide fell off, battery strap, cherry bomb muffler. so that's coming soon.
Had a fuel delivery issue I've been chasing for a few days. Traced it to clogged injectors. Being that the car is 28 years old, I replaced all of them. Road testing the car, I discovered a broken transmission mount. At least I got throttle response.
Deadened the front doors by spraying rubber against outer skin and sticky-mat on the inner door panel. Ready for 6.5" speakers. Got the power mirrors working after eons. Got into the mirror switchpad big time. Took it all apart, cleaned the contacts, bent the tab fingers around, repaired the burnt board. Geez. But it was worth it in the end. Got cool OEM power mirrors.
