Default My new Bird!



Ok, so its not exactly a "new" car. 700r4 automatic. The fenders, hood, and bumper are off an 82. Its pretty obvious that she needs some tlc. Mechanically everything seems pretty well off but I'm no tech. I installed a new radiator, added some tranny fluid and drove her home. Spent the morning with new oil/filter, plugs, wires, and adding more coolant tranny fluid. Discovered how much fun the plugs are with all the emission crap in the way! I've got to see if she will pass a sniffer before I go yanking all that out.

Good luck with it! Just be sure to get pics of it when you tear it apart. Then when it's done you can look at before, midway, and finish. Makes you apreaciate the work a lot more when you look back and see what it was.

Yea, I've already gone over the car with the camera...inside and out. I've got a hood and bumper that belong on the car. Hood looks ok but the bumper is cracked on the bottom. I've never done any kind of body work so it should be interesting. Either way it will be a slow project. I'm going to get back to Houston and finish school first.
