Where did you get the white gauges? And what year spoiler is that?

The first set of pictures of the black trans am with the chrome wheels is my car!! I just bought it a few weeks ago, where did you find those pics? I'm trying to track its past a bit. Thanks!

I have the same car and it looked exactly as mine does today. lol. only mine has 209k miles on it. got alot of work to do to it.
-
Maybe get 3rd gen rims

nice car man the restoration process takes a while if you aint got the time to work on it much i have a 1990 formula and i gave $325 for it i saved it from being crushed but im getting there on mine it just takes time and money gotta love the third gens

good luck man i 2 have an 86 and im puting a 95 corvette motor in it. your car gonna be sick looken tho
-
The only thing i have to say, is screw tpi, if you are gonna be doing all that work anyway, throw in a lil pateince and put a ls1/t56 or 4l60e more power more reliable not a waste of money easy to make 500 horse just outta the stock 346 block so you pick but that is my oppinion the over all look you are goin for is good just drivetrain upgrade would make this a sick 86 my opinion. I am rebuilding a 90 formula with ls1/t56 tons of stuff but yea good luck



Nice T/A. At 1:27, what is in between the window switches on the console? My dad and I just bought an 86 T/A with a 355, 5spd, and t-tops and the car has the spot for whatever that thing is but we could never figure out what would go there...

Holy shit nice firebird. Mine looked nearly the same as urs with faded paint and webs and torn interior. All ive done to mine was primar it and replace some worn up stuff but damn urs looks nice. Did it cost alot of money?
