I'll start this off slow at first.Gotalot of info to go over,I will try to keep it from getting confusing.I've got 4 cars to work with.86 base bird,2.8auto running and driving with slight damage to pass front fender.Has a 3.1 block in it though.86fb with stock 2.8 v belt setup manuel 5speed.fuel in gas.damage to front nose,very fixable.89fb 2.8 auto.had blown intake gasket got that fixed but oil presure is low on start up and drops as its warming up.top presure 20.has good nose pass fender.motor is fixable I beleave with a oil pump.Has damage to drivers fender and rear quarter.No rust though and a t top.Has some hacked wireing in engine area.rad. fan never came on on test run.number 4 is a 85 sport coupe.NO ENGINE OR TRANNY.still has v6tpi ecm and harness.been sitting a long time.damage to pass fender and some drivers quarter.inerior fair hard top.good headliner,overhead console thingy.For the most part all cars are rust free.I've got a good 3.1 block with pistons,rods cam, crank spun a bearing.also got 2.8 s10 engine from a 85,carb type.it turns over by hand ok.spare 700r4 and some doors and other stuff from a dead 90 bird.need advice on how to get the most out of what I got.I will post more pics and info.

 

I know the front nose skin on the 85 s/c is a 84 or so.The 89 fb dosnt have any pics yet.the interior is a little ruff on it.thinking about putting engine and tranny into the 85 s/c.pass fender onto the 86 silver/gray firebird and nose skin onto the 86 red fire bird.The red fb needs a clutch in that 5 speed.The headliner is good in that one and seats are fair but for the drivers tear on side.manuel windownws on this red 86 and the 85s/c. power windows on the 86 auto and 89fb.Got set of power red doors off the 90 bird.the 89 has a bow out at the mirror on the pass. side and the red 86 has the same thing on the drivers door.these are pics of the red 86

 

I would make a list of the pro's and con's of each car. Then sit down and mix and match different parts with the car they will fit. After an hour or so of mix and match I think the answers to what cars to fix should be a little clearer.

 

Yes! And an Excel spreadsheet would make that list a lot easier to manage.

 

where do I get the spreadsheet from? Parts store?

 

That's a good one

 

The same place you get 2 spaces after each .

You computer

 

 

Seriously though, I'd take the 86 with the 3.1, swap in the 5 speed, and a good fender. Then swap over anything else you'd like, interior bits and such. Sell the rest, put cash back into your one car for maximum effect.

 

thats one I havnt thought of.other than the head liner and seat covers the gray/silver 86 is preaty good inside.she needs fresh paint.I would like the 5 speed in her with a 3.4 and turbo it.Add a rear disk brake.I dont have one laying around but know where I can get another bird for under 5 thats got my fender and rear disk.good maron seats,carpet and oem floor matts with no stains or wear.I could pull the gray headliner out of the red 86 and overhead console out of the 85 s/c
