I have a 4th gen fbody and I am thinking about picking up a set of C5 thin spokes off a facebook market place seller. They are cheap, likely for this reason.. From my research this is...
Hi guys, its many many years since I was last present on here. I have a 93 firebird formula that was resprayed in 2002-2003. Prior owner garage kept it, I bought it two years ago and it lives...
Next on the agenda is scratch filling. Going to buy some touch up paint and see if I can fill in the scratches. The one I want to fill the most are some I made when mounting the fender. Thought I was...
Yep. 8 bolts in all. 5 of which were in the engine bay. One I could see with the door open and the other one I had to pull the bumper off slighty and the final one( and the most annoying) was hidden...
