This is an old 1980 Firebird Formula I picked up a month or so ago. I noticed it sitting in some guys yard and stopped and looked at it. The body was in fairly good condition and so was the inside. I got it from him for a couple hundred bucks and now I have a lil project im working on. It has no motor or transmission in it. Actually it has nothing under the hood. Its a big open cavity under the hood. That could make it easier or harder to fix up....depends on how you look at it. Its more expensive but I can make it exactly how I want it and I can mean it when I say I built the car.

The windshield has been busted out for quite some time, but overall the inside is in good condition. The seats are a lil mildewed but its nothing i cant clean up with the right cleaners. The carpet is ruined and the dash is a lil dry rotted and has some cracks in it. Ill have to recarpet it and order a new dash. Other than maybe all the wiring being dry rotted the inside wont be that bad.

All in all this is gonna be one long and expensive pain in the ass. But if i do it and do it right, I plan on making this one fine hot rod that will tear the Honduhs in Alexandria, LA a new one! By the way I also have another car displayed here on CarDomain.com under BigJ0784. Its a 1994 Toyota Celica ST. Check it out if you want.
