2006-08-06 - The Donor Car

The following photos were taken on 6th August 2006 - shortly after I bought my base vehicle.
I found the 1988 Pontiac Firebird Targa with a 2.8-liter V6 engine through a classified ad on the "Knight Rider Board". It was located in the Bayreuth district, and the previous owner had already begun making exterior modifications. For example, he had already installed a 4th-season front end (later replaced by a nicer 3rd-season front), US-style mirrors, and a D80 rear spoiler.

The car was in pretty bad shape on the outside, but I didn't care because most of the parts (e.g., fenders, hood, rear bumper) needed to be replaced anyway, and a new paint job was also unavoidable. Still, it helped that it was already black.
The red interior was also of secondary importance. I had planned to replace that with a TAN-colored one as well... It was more important to me that the car had a manual transmission, since I didn't want an automatic at the time and wasn't planning to create a 100% replica anyway. More on this in my FAQ.
Further details on the vehicle's condition can be found in the section "The Base Vehicle"
