Desert Find 69 Firebird ,,, My new project

[214Chevy]

Hey bro, not to sound negative, you are a gearhead from another planet. I agree & understand what you mean about wanting to fix it up and that being the fun part & all. But why put yourself thru that if you don't have to....physically & financially. Nonetheless, congrats & have a damn good time. Like others have said, keep us up to date on this one. I want to see this.

I'm not sure what the difference between replacing a dented and rusted panel and one that is just rusted is.

This car is more savable than many I have seen saved.

Thanks everybody for all the positive AND the negative coments ,,, here in suadi arabia its very hard to find a muscle car ,,, actully its very hard to find anything in the 60's 70's range that is worth working on ,,, so when i saw this 69 firebird it was like a dream comming true ,,,

however ,,, if i was to choose between this car and an ok condition car i will take this 1 ,,, if i am going to repaint the car do drivetrain wheels suspention interior then i prefer to work on cheap car to start with ,,,

worth saying , thanks to god there is no rust on the car except for the trunk and the hood(it was laying on the ground for years thats y its rusted ) other than that the car is soild ,,, dont get fooled by the rusty color ,,, its the old paint not the rust ,,, and i will do most of the bodywork my self ,,, i will only buy the trunk panel and a hood and i will try to fix everything else as much as i can keeping good quality job in mind ,,,

Wish me luck "I need it "

I have a question for you. How much is a gallon of gas U.S. over there?

Congrats with a fun project!
Cool that you actually can find these cars in Saudi-Arabia.
I have a far out '62 Impala myself that everyone say is beyond repair, but i mean that these projects should be saved as well

Good luck fellow bird bro! FWIW, my car 'looked' better than that when I pulled mine out of a barn....but in reality it wasn't. It took alot of work to make it nice, like most cars on this forum.

Best of luck! Keep us posted.

Holy crap a 69 Firebird in Saudi

I've been working as a civilian in Iraq for the last few years, if I could find a nice project in a junk yard of Iraq that would awesome.

Let us know if you need help getting anything over there. I can imagine that it'll be tough getting all the little stuff together from over there.
