Here is what my car looked like when i bought it in Jan 2007. She had 42,000 miles on the clock. I was going through some files and found these today, sorry there low quality i took pictures of the pictures with my cell phone. Notice the smashed passenger rear quarter panel also.

 

A few months after all the body work, and added 2002 speedline rims. and H/C/I LS1 that put down between 445 and 485 rwhp on 3 different dynos.

 

Started out rough but came out nice. Maybe get that engine washed down to match the exterior. Good job on the resurrection

 

awesome work bringing her back to her glory!

 

and then came torq thurst II's. She has really gone through many changes they last 4 years, from a H/C/I LS1 to a 416 LS3, Totaled out and arctic white to fixed and caddilac diamond pearl white. 3 different exhaust systems. 3 different sets of rims. now shes waiting on her new MWC 9" rear end, which with any luck will be installed next month.
Whats next? yet another exhaust system, true 3" duals over the axle with the MWC watts link, and im thinking of some high end rims next year after i make my final car payment in January. Probably some CCW's, Fiskes, or HRE's. It really is a never ending process.

 

that engine is long gone, replaced it with a 416 LS3 this last summer.

 

Oh. Nice lol. Sorry I wasn't trying to be a dick, just thought the engine bay didn't pop as much as the exterior...

 

it came a long way and looks great.

 

yeah the ls1 was pretty dirty in that picture.

 

Damn, you have made some serious progress with that car, it looks great and has definitely come a long way. That thing was beat to hell when you got it.

 

that paint! awesome body work. nice looking car

 

very nice work! Car has came along way.

 

That came out nice! Not to start a pissing match with the 5th gen guys, but a 4th Gen done right > a brand new 5th Gen, plus it's probably still cheaper in the long run.

 

Major turn around on this car. Great work and great save.

 

Completely agree

Sweet T/A . I dont like the pearl whites on alot of things, but you pulled it off pretty damn good with the blue stripes. Its got the power and looks, the high end rims will be the perfect cherry on top.

 

But posts like that don't really serve any other purpose but to start arguments. Equivalent of saying "No offense, but you suck."

 

Looks great! Sure has came a long way...Love the look though.

 

Ehh i liked it better before

 

love that pearl paint . looks sexy on firebirds .dont understand why GM didnt offer it on
93-02 fbodys . nice ride man .

 

I love seeing someone take a beat up car and turning it into something that can truely be appreciated. Good job, I like it, especially with the tt2's. Those are my favorite.
