KITT5's 1985 Pontiac Firebird

INTRODUCTION & ORIGINAL MODS

This is my car, it's an '85 Pontiac Firebird I bought in early summer of '06, the previous owner replaced both doors & the driver's fender, when I bought the car, the door panels were in the trunk along with a stock radio & a box of misc, pieces off the car & some spare parts. The car was originally maroon with a grey interior but, when I bought it most of the body was either primered or rusted & some of the interior needed replaced.

The car has a stock 2.8 V6 & 5spd, transmission & up untill winter of '06 it was driven quite often.

I changed several things on the car, The stock nose, tailights, rear bumper & hood were replaced with ones from a junked '82 Trans Am I had, the ripped front seats were replaced with a set of rare PMD's, later the center console was switched with an 82-84 style one with a Camaro shiftknob, next I replaced the stock steering wheel with the a cooler looking older one, then modified the dash to resemble an 82's & added a Tran Am map pocket.

A Pioneer CD player & Eclipse 6X9 speakers give me something to listen to besides the stock exhaust.
