Hello Pontiac nation!! My name is Chris and I'm from Friendswood, Texas. I and the 3rd owner of an original 1990 Pontiac Firebird with all matching numbers 3.1 V6 engine and transmission.  I've been restoring this beauty for the last couple of years and found my passion to help others on YouTube because there were so few self help videos on these gems.  So I started "1990 Pontiac Firebird..." DIY to help others also restore and keep these Pontiac beauties on the first for others to admire!!  Please visit my YouTube channel to see my work and if you line and subscribe then it will only continue the trend of restoring these slowly dwindling numbers of vehicles on the road. Here she is below!  Thanks!!

"Never accept defeat!!!"

Nice looking bird!

Welcome - it's nice to see another 3rd gen owner here!

So what have you done to it so far? Obviously the hood decal is an add on, albeit a cool one.

Hahaha!!  Yes, thanks!!, the more correct question might be what haven't I done to it!!  Starting from the beginning included getting rid of the engine misfiring which consisted of new fuel injectors, almost all the old TBI electronics, fuel pump and gas tank.  Followed but the complete cooling system replacement, brakes, shocks, struts and all the springs myself.  The AC compressor x 2 and all components upgraded, the new complete exhaust system, new engine mounts, front and rear axil  bushings, complete two tone interior with sound deadening and carpet,  headliner, visors and installed a sporty upgraded center roof control with a backup camera system and alarm.  New tires and alignment and most recently, the new paint job and decal upgrade followed by two cracked exhaust manifolds and more cooling system component leaks.  Not much other than that!!  😂. I really hope I get selected for the calendar because this is one special vehicle to me and I love seeing the faces of people who've never seen a Firebird in their lives and constantly come over and want to compliment her style and looks.  Thanks for asking.  I'm really looking forward to this club.  Merry Christmas and Happy holidays everyone!!  Stay safe!
