The newest addition to my family, as of 01/07. I bought it from a friend, and it's currently my daily driver. I name all my cars, this one remains nameless. This car was the exact opposite of what I wanted in another f-body. I wanted something with a v8 (350, preferably) and manual trans. This little v6/automagic has a lot of sentimental value since my old thirdgen "lives on" through it, so it was an instant keeper.

Anyway, Firebird.
It no longer has a broken nose, or a duct-taped up fender. It's been looking quite fine since last summer.
I got it new Pirelli P4 tires around Christmas time, and they are wonderful.
Still hanging in there, running like a champ.
Also loving the JVC head unit I picked up recently.
Do I have any plans for it right now? No. I'm content with how it is, plus paying for college takes top priority right now. She is a good car, and I've become quite fond of it in the year I have now owned it!

Spring is finally upon us! Now after months of waiting I can finally get started on the Firebird. Yesterday I installed my new Summit ignition coils. I definately noticed a change. The terminals on the old coils were terribly corroded, it's a miracle the car ran as well as it did. Tomorrow we are going to be working on it during auto tech class. The new Dynomax muffler will be going on! We will also be doing some routine services, changing the rear diff fluid, engine oil, and chassis lube. I plan on inspecting the brakes too. If time permits, we'll check out my power steering issue. If not, that's another class. My head unit will come this week. That might be a weekend project. I'm going to have to hit up the junkyards soon for a passenger side fender. The friggin "NASCAR mod" fender has to go, I can't stand it anymore. The bottom corner of the front bumper cover will need to be repaired too. That is going to suck because I don't like doing bodywork. I don't know how badly damaged it is, I've never seen it. My buddy taped the damaged taped up when he owned it. (the car had a run in with a gate a few years ago). My goal is to have it looking great by July. Maybe if all goes well, I can sit it up in the field when my fire department has it's car show this summer. The last time I entered a vehicle in that show, I had a blast!
Power locks, power windows, power hatch, A/C, cruise control, all that stuff.
It ain't a mod, but I replaced the passenger fender. I painted it and the front bumper.

Looks just like mine did before I added fog lights and clear turn signal lenses.
Nice color bird! Looks like you're off to a good start with the performance mods.
