Joris 77 firebird formula patina build
Hey all.
the chevelle project was taking too long and i wanted to buy a car to rip around in. Always like patina cars and i came across this firebird. The plan was to just drive it the way it was for a while but the engine blew the first day already. Worn rod bearing. Kept driving until piston 7 cracked in half. The top half was stuck at TDC and the bottom half was still going up and down lol. Any ways the plan is now to swap the engine and trans i had for the chevelle. Built ls2 with forged internals. And the t56 i rebuild last year. Im gonna steal a lot of the parts i had for the chevelle project. Fuel system, wiring kit etc.
Just finished welding the trans hump panel but unfortunately it doesnt line up nice with the auto console. Heres some pictures of the car. Its all solid and pretty much all original. It already had subframe connectors, poly bushings in the suspension and heavy swaybars.
