Should I fix it? I have, sitting in my yard, a 1995 Firbird Formula A4. It has a WS6 hood, TT2`s, 1.6 RR, SLP CAI,BBK Shorties,3.73`s,eaton posi,Underdrive puilly, Trans go shift kit, B&M 2400, and I also have a CC305 I never put in it.
Well about Two years ago I minorly smashed it, just front end damage, and havnt driven it since. Since then I bought a 99 SS.
I have a little bit of money and I considered buying a cheapie V6 bird (they go for under a thousand with a blown motor, ect) and swapping my stuff over and having an LT1 again. Im thinkinf of a new rolling chassis because the poor formula sat in the winter and the body is going to ****. But of course while the engine would be out Id put in the cam, get long tubes, and probably 383 it, not to mention change the opti.
But I was looking, the vendors dont actually offer much for them as much as they used to. A Lunati 383 kit is about 3000.
Do you think I should just let it rot and put the money in my LS1?

Does it even run? If it does theres plenty of places to get cosmetic parts. As long as you do all the work yourself I would do it. Even if the parts arent the same color who cares. At least its more sellable when you want to get rid of it. Hell, I just bought a Z28 for 1100 and dumped 4500 into it. I mean yea, I could have just bought one for that price, but now the car is pretty much brand new and I know everythingabout the car.
To make a long story short, if you really want to get rid of it Ill take it.
