1999 Firebird Forumula

I was 14 years old when I found the 4th generation Fbody and 6 years later I finally purchased my first, a 1999 Pontiac Firebird Formula, which I found on Ls1tech. The car was located about 30 miles from Herkimer, NY where I vacation with friends about 3x a year and when I first saw the listing in June it was the day I had just gotten back from said home. Fast forward to early August and the car is still for sale, I PM'd the guy and put a $500 non refundable deposit on it, On August 8, 2011(my 20th birthday) I signed the title and she was mine.

When I bought it.




You can see the LT1 t/a he was parting. He gave me the mint door panels from that car, the stock wheels ls1 wheels and he was going to give me the t/a hatch but the glass was cracked. I actually changed the wheels out in his driveway and left them there because he left a stock hurst shifter installed and gave me the door panels.


Having some fun with the new car on a private airstrip just hours after I purchased it.



Just got back to the cabin after a day of offroading



The interior when I got it home.

The first thing I did after an oil change was !sidemolding and !badge


I also painted the rad support, lid and and valve covers artic white





The plans changed a few times with this car but right now I'm just enjoying it and when someone offers me my asking price I'll let it go.

Current mods
Granetelli Lid painted white
stock hurst shifter/ws6 6.5 stick/jegs knob
free ram air
taylor wires
!moldings/!badges
Ceta'd rear bumper

In the near future it's getting
a tune(!cats, !egr. !air, !cags)
stage 3 t56
monster clutch(have)
tick master cylinder(have)
BMR lowering springs/shocks
LCA's/PHB off of my 84

For appearance I'm planning
wheels
new back bumper
tint
clear markers

car looks good, always feels great to finally get the car you really wanted. Good choice swapping those aftermarket wheels, they ruined the look of the car.

Been a while. This is what it's looked like for a while. Took off the stripes and put the stock wheels back on after hitting a deer around 15-20 mph. Got lucky and only damaged the hood so I bent it back into place and used some touch up till I can find a new hood.

Gonna upgrade brakes with brakemotive parts and the headlights are getting upgraded for sure. Also have a phb on the way.

Nice ride, I lie looking at these long term threads where you can see a car progress with the new owner.

Just rolled 90k. Just did the PHB and LCA's. Stock ones were shot. Got a trans am hatch on the way and possibly leather seats. I am getting bored with it though so I'll have to get some new time's and then do a cam or install my TNT kit.

One more pic
