new toys

i recently aquired 2 turd gens...yay!
few weeks ago i brought home an 84 trans am, 305ho 700r4 car..with factory 3.73 limited slip and rear disc brakes..pretty straight clean body for the most part..aero kit equipped which i love....but interior was complete garbage..car was obviously originally red..as you'll see if you look at the pics...
when i picked the car up it was missing the spoiler and center section to the taillights so i grabbed the tail lights i still had laying around from my old 84 bird and threw them in..and stopped on the way home at the local boneyard and grabbed a spoiler for $25..not too bad
then...car number 2 is found the same day..on the way home with the trans am (on my trailer) i stopped for gas and someone came up and started asking me about the car..and asked if i was interested in another one....went and looked at it and bought it on the spot..threw her on the trailer and off i went...91 firebird hardtop v6 (bad motor) clean body and interior..everything works..and i got a steal on it
the 91 is going to be my lsx swap car..the 84 will just get fixed up to be a nice looking cruiser and next year will get antique tags which means no more inspection/emission/registeration renewal ..woot!
91 i'm going to try finding some 82-84 bumper covers for it bc i'm not a fan of the 91-92 bumpers at all..so those and hte headlight assemblies will be swapped out for older variations..other then that and eventual paint..i think she'll be good on looks
