Wrench Ratchet Tool
1980 Yellowbird – Is it worth it?
Hey there, im looking for a project car that will ultimately be drivable and look half decent, as well as learn about the mechanics, repair and whatnot of cars. Theres an old 1980 yellowbird (espirit firebird) sitting down the road from me, and my grandfather was a mechanic at one point so i have an engine hoist, ratchets wrenches and every other tool at my disposal, as well as a large space to work in (if i need a tool I’ll buy it if i have to). I was just wondering, what sort of work will likely need to be done, what i can expect to need, and if its really worth doing. Now, i know that the car itself has been sitting out on a lawn for upwards of 5 years (don’t ask me how long) so engine is likely scrap, but the body is surprisingly solid? rust is an issue, but i have friends who say they can and will repair this, so its mostly mechanical. I’ll post more info as it arrives, but as of yet i know next to nothing.
Chances are that if the body has some rust problems that you will want to check the followings also:entire exhaust system, all brake lines, fuel lines, suspension(shocks struts ball joints tie rod ends both inner and outer and the sleeve wheel bearings inner and outer, shift linkage,and the fuel tank. Now if it has been sitting for a long you will probably have front and rear seals start leaking soon if they are not already.I don’t know your experience but if you really love this car maybe you can get some help from family or friends. It will be expensive and time consuming but when your done there isn’t a feeling like knowing your car because you worked on it.It’s a thing of beauty!
