Hey all. I'm not new to Firebirds as this is my second one.
My first Firebird was an 82 with t-tops, V6. Nothing special just your everyday ordinary run of the mill firebird but it was fun to drive.
The current model is an 86 TA with T-tops ( I sense a trend here).
This one kinda fell in my lap. The body is very clean, only rust (that I can see right now) is above the windshield. I got her with no motor or transmission, interior is a bit rough but I plan to totally restore her to look like a GTA.
My first goal is to put a motor and trany in her and get her on the road so I can see what else I need to do.
I'm getting small things for her now like the stereo control steering wheel pad that I think I will need to figure out how to wire in (unless Pontiac put the harness in the column).
I plan to add some pictures as soon as I get them online.
My second goal is to make her a real sleeper. I would like to build a small block 350 pushing out 500 HP and bolt it up to a Corvette 6 speed manual turning a possi with 390s. That should put her in the 220 MPH top speed range. Do I need that much speed? NO WAY but it would be fun to know I have it if I ever need it.
Third goal is to freshen up the body with a paint job and GTA badges. I have already decided that I will use the Burgundy color but I will need to find the paint codes.
More to come soon.
