Cheap shock? That's the Factory shock! They were pretty good shocks actually. When I got my T/A at 67,000 miles, I was surprised how well it handled and soaked up the bumps in the road. You're getting there, keep on keepin' on!
1997 Firebird Y87 5spd
Hey guys,
just starting some kind of a build thread,
bought a few days ago a 97 bird with the 3.8 , Y87 code, black with grey interiors, t-top and manual tranny.
i love it, but it needs major works,
i already left it in a body shop because the previous owner hit a pole coming out of a corner (yup he spun, and he hugghed the pole with a door...).
it has some rust all over the under carriage.
interiors are in pieces, i need a lot of interior parts (gonna open a thread soon) starting from the upper part of the dash (the one that faces the windshiels, to sun visors, radio, ebrake bezel, radio and so on.
i also need to do a full tune up with new fluids.
only mod is the alluminum DS
if you want to follow me on youtube this is my channel (no bird yet on it)

4th gen floor board question
hi all, 97 bird, noob question. is the floor board (floor pans or whatever it's are called) just on single big panel? this is what i find in my gm firebird manuals: https://i.ibb.co/rtczBvb/floor.jpg https://i.ibb.co/477Ybqc/floorpan.webp if yes, why do i find on google smaller boards...

hi all,
i'd say that it is almost rust free...this job is taking mega long.
now we started to patch it.
Keep on it Tommy! ...you're going to have the nicest 4th Gen F-body in Europe before long.
