fixing my bird. need a little help

[Ikaros]

I saved some cash last year and I feel it is time to fix this car.I did some research on the internet and I learned about the front end coversion,so I decided to do this conversion to make it look like 98-up firebird.first thing we should do is bring back the nose to its right position(yes the car has some frame damage)
now my cuestion is?
the pieces, will they fit good in the car if we can fix the frame damage?
is there someone who had done this before?

now, im not sure how useful those threads are going to be. It seems you can pick up a kit from different junkyards here and there. from what i was reading prices were around the 2000 dollar range for the parts. the specific parts you will need are listed in some of those threads.

There are way more threads than that if you search. Its a wonderful feature.

I think your first priority is going to need to be getting that frame straightened out. Suspension, as well, cause from the looks of your front passenger side wheel, its screwed up pretty bad. After you get that in order, and if you still have any money left over, then you can start worrying about the conversion.

And if you do get it running again, be a little more careful this time.

By the way, did you change your screen name? I recognize the car, and the accident, but not the name.

thanks for the advice but **** happens .I allready fix the suspension(see picture 1)and I have enough to spend,I know I could buy another bird for that money(94 or 95 3.4) but the thing is this car doesn't deserved this kind of treatment.
the engine is running well,

Hey, you're the artist formerly known as Rhadamanthe!

One of your other best bets is trying ebay. I've seen tons of junkyards and just private sellers selling their bumpers and whatnot, maybe you can find a cheap one. Good luck though, and one more question, if you're going to take those ground effects off, maybe give me a holla and a price too? [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

3.8

so you fixed the suspension before you fixed the frame of the car?
