Jordan, personally i would stay clear if you cannot do that work yourself. Will cost you a small fortune if you have to farm the work out.Save your money and buy a structurally sound firebird. It's easy for someone with little to no knowledge to replace trim, interiors, certain body parts,etc... My first firebird was a learning experience and it was not structurally sound.Many,many $/headaches later and i have a structurally sound full frame car now.Don't worry to much about motors,trannies as these can easily and affordably replaced. Be patient,the right car will come along and in the meantime save your $ as you wait for it. You will enjoy your car so much more. But this is my personal experience.My next two firebirds were different and i enjoyed them from the minute i bought them.That $1500 bargain might end up costing you a lot more $ in the long run than the $5000 one in the long run.You're young, learn from some of our mistakes.You work to hard for your money and it will not be a pleasureable experience if you buy yourself a moneypit.Good luck with your search and if you need any help,i'm in ontario as well and am always on the lookout for birds and parts locally.Shoot me an e-mail at mardave68@aol.com if you need any help,it would be my pleasure.
