What happend to the silver lip on the front bumper like in your sig?
Still they both look great, I love those rims, I'm getting something similar for my car soon, I love the black with the polished lip, look on a black car, thats how I was planing mine since the begining, and I've never seen it on a second gen with a first gen sunbird flip up headlight front end.....yet

Man you got one sweet 1st gen!!! I usually do not like the coupes all that much as I prefer the hatches but you set up that one nice. Great job! What is in store for it next? Can't wait to see more.

I would love to see how you set up the air ride for the struts and shocks. The valves and tank are no issue or plumbing, i would just like to see how you set up the struts and shocks........ hint hint..... . I cant wait to get mine back on the road. All my time is going into my third gen converteble right now then the second gen converteble, the best gets saved for last. lol.

cut bumper in half? it doesnt look like thats how it was done at all... that would look like a stretched out bumper which is not the case..

Oh well thanks dude... its custom, thats all I needed to know

Man one of my first cars was an 87 Z . I loved that thing it was a nice shade of blue and had 15" prime hammers, 2.8 auto, jet chip. I wish I new what happened to that car. after I blew the motor . (trany stuck in 2nd 80 mph for about 20 mile. radio up so loud I never herd the bearing spin let alone the rod coming through the block ) I put a new 3.1 in it and gave it to my sister because she was having a baby and needed a reliable car. within in 2 weeks she showed up at the house with a new sunfire and told me she traded the car in. Never to see it again. that was back in 98-99. any way good to see there are still some nice ones around maybe one day I get another. Keep up the good work

well, there is one less 1st gen in the world. justin's car (abby 87, car in first post) is now gone to the car gods. after an attempt at suicide doors, the shop botched it and it ended up stretching the b-pillars, making the car unsife to drive. we made the decision, and in one day turned it into a shell with a motor and tranny in it, and sent it away.

he is now rolling a 90 sunbird le turbo 5 speed convertable, complete with first gen z24 front end.

Those pics look great. It makes me jealous that I don't live in the North anymore. That moving photo with all the huge trees along side the road, WOW!!! That's a sweet pic to me.
I lived in Alaska but Canada is ok too I guess...
Anyway I too love what you guys did with the front bumper. I'm confused as to what the two techniques were.?.?.?
