sunbird

does anybody have any pics of modified sunbirds? if u can, can u post them 4 me? Thanks!!

Not much to do for Sunbirds...can swap over 2nd generation (1988-1994) Cavalier parts onto them with minimal hassle. I put a Cavalier front end and Z24 body kit on mine.

Can swap in a V6....be it a 2.8, 3.1 or 3400...

Go there and look for pics of modified cars.

I picked up the kit off a white 93 Z24 at a local junkyard, $120 for all of it!

It was pretty easy to install, but had to put on a new front end because I had the flip ups, so I had totally different fenders!

And with the Z24 kit, you will have nowhere to put your license plate, so you can either put a mounting plate on the bumper, or put in cavalier tails, which requires a new trunk lid and lower filler panels!

So, it requires a fair bit of work....I drove my car like that for a few weeks...a friend commented "It looks like you ran over a circus." :grinyes:

You know, normally I would make fun of some shit like that, but damn, you did a nice job. What Sunbirds came RWD and did you get one?

Thanks for the kind words :)

The only Sunbird that came rear wheel drive was in the mid 1970s, and the only thing it shares with the GM J-body Sunbird is name...J-bodies like the Cavalier and Sunbird/Sunfire are all front wheel drive.

Also, being that I wanted to keep somewhat true, I got rid of the Z24 on the side skirts...but I did end up sticking a 3rd gen Z24 badge on the trunk, and I have a V6 swap planned for the very near future...

I'm not a fan of the car to start w/ , but you did a damn nice job on the body work!

Props Bro Props.

yeah, nice job man, and thanks!

I will agree you did an awesome job seriously.

Thank you, gentlemen! I will update later on, as I am preparing to perform a 3.1 V6 swap into the car, since my 2.0 is dyin on me!
