Project: Getting Kicked out of the House

[JoeliusZ28]

1996 3.8L Firebird A4

So as some of you found out from facebook today, I picked up another car. Took a gamble on this one - bought it non-running. Fuel pump isnt kicking on but the car was clean and sounded healthy on the starter at least so i rolled the dice. Its clearly been owned by an enthusiast before, as its been cared for and has some random upgrades here and there such as a TA spoiler, and aluminum driveshaft, and various other visual enhancements. It has an ebony leather interior. The seats are very nice and the carpet looks great for its age too! There is minimal bolster wear for the mileage this car has, im not sure if the seats are original but the door panels do match and it has the 6-speaker CD player with steering wheel controls as well. However the car is a hardtop. Go figure!

We'll see what happens as the week progresses. First things in line will be a fuel pump, oil change, and probably a trans fluid change as well since it looked a bit dark.



Sorry for the lack of pics at the moment but heres what i have so far:

Different purpose. He wanted a car that got decent mpg. I think this car was also quite a bit less.



Car looks good joel. Are the tails tinted?

Hopefully a fuel pump and your up and running.

[JoeliusZ28]
