highway_star's 1970 Pontiac Firebird This is my car. it looks kinda shitty but don't worry, i am working on it. behind my car you can see my dad's '77 el camino. my dad has another 2 cars. an '75 el camino SS and a 1979 firebird. all in good condition. A buddy of mine has a 1975 chevy caprice with a 400 cui engine. also in good condition. only my car is in a bit of a bad shape. more pictures will follow.

i've bought the car in July 2002. It drives great and fast. for european standards.:) I cruised a lot and went to several meetings in holland. an american car is pretty special in holland, and I got many jealous looks from older dudes who were in there midlife crisis. because i'm only 20 years old, its pretty unique that i drive and can afford an american car. many people think that i am in some dark, criminal circuit. thats great.

about the car: it has an 400 cui engine and it is a tire killer!

it hasn't got a slip diff so the tire is smoking pretty fast. i've got 255/60/15 tires rear and 245/60/15 in the front.

i hope you can understand the sizes cause it is metric. it looks real bad(ass)!The bird was in a bad shape. The rear 3/4 panels wer completely gone due to rust. It was just one layer of filler after another.(check pics)highway_star's 1970 Pontiac Firebird highway_star's 1970 Pontiac Firebird

we made the panels ourselves. i am not quite satisfied with the results but i could roll for another year.The rear bumper was... well it looked alright, but when i took it off the car it was completely rotten. So i bought an new bumper.katsjing, katjsing! So in the mean time i got the gas tank away from the car. one day, I bored myself to death, i got a creative moment.I painted a flag on it. I believe it is the Federation flag. Pic will follow. I don't even use my gas tank, my car runs on propane.PROPANE POWERED! It is real cheap compared to gas. like one liter of gas is about 2,10 euro and a liter of propane costs about 0,40 euro
(1 euro is about just the same as 1 dollar) So, since american musclecars use a lot of fuel,the choise isn't hard
Anyway, even we restored the rear panels i am not satisfied with the result. so i decided to take the car apart. Entirely.The interior has had his best days, the electrical store is a mess, my engine creates a smokescreen when you accelarate
on the highway.

al these factors led me to the decision to take the car apart for a thourough restoration. This winter it will happen. So i bought another car, a Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale Brougham. 1984. check it out on page 3

at the end of the summer of 2004 i bought another body of a 1970 formula. with new 3/4 rear panels already installed! This saves me from 1. spend less money. 2. a whole lotta work!
the only thing i really need are two chairs. But i only want 1970 pontiac chairs, cause i want to restore the car as close as possible to original.
And i maybe found another formula, this one is a '71 and is a 350 formula. But it is all stripped down, and the guy owning this car doen't want to work on the car anymore and it's in his way,so... I will keep you posted of any progress!

Looks like a great project. I like the old ones a lot better. My buddy has a black 78 Trans Am with a 400 that he is redoing. H's looking for a rasonably priced used shaker for it. Everbody wants an arm and a leg for them, even if their junk. He has already redone the interior, not counting seat covers. Just remembered, that project is on hold cause he blew the tranny a couple of months ago and since his girlfriend decided it is time to get married, he can't afford the tranny for a while. Your dad's cars are pretty cool too.

Dankie vir die kompliment op my kar...ek hou ook nie baie van
sommige van daardie bodykits van amerika nie(Shogun is lelik)...veral nie die voorkant nie..dis te oordoen(groot)..hierdie bodykit op die MX is my eie ontwerp,ek het dit net nie self gemaak nie...ek is nie so goed met fibre glass werk nie.
Tot later.
Anton.
