Default finished my intake job...

so for the past two days i've replaced my leaky intake manifold gasket, my oil pressure sending unit, and replaced my throttle body with a 52mm bbk one i got at the junk yard for 100 dollars! I painted the intake manifold while it was off too.. check out the end result:



oh yea, and while at the junk yard i saw this! if you can't tell.. that used to be a firebird.
WTF!

Did you hide your wire harness? Where did you put the grounds?

could be a 95-96 without the optional uplevel spoiler. maybe even a 94 although those are the 95+ 5 spoke wheels.

it was def. a v6 3.4l firebird 94-95? with some kind of aftermarket body kit on it. it had the low rise spoiler, the firebird emblems on the doors, and the ugly red taillights with the square reverse lights. it also looks like the front clip used to be teal. the funny thing was that the whole car was fucked! except for the rear, the bumper, and tail lights were intact and perfectly fine..
