The 1985 Firebird SE

I'm starting to get quite the lengthy list going with this one. Also has a parasitic drain, which means getting the battery charged up, attaching the multimeter, and having the wife watch while I pull fuses one at a time to try to narrow down the circuit... if I can. Too bad I'm adding to jobs needing more than one pair of hands.

For now it's getting added to the list and I'll keep the negative terminal disconnected.

In the realm of ignored, but not forgotten, I bought some goodies at Carlisle for the neglected ol girl.

First up, nothing fis like NOS:

T-Top weatherstrip, left and right side

Door edge reveal moldings, left and right, which, can't really photo, but, they're in there:

The next best thing is used. Bought a pair of crack free upper dash pads. One is 1982-1984. The other is 1985-1992.

To be honest, I've never tried swapping them. I'm gonna test fit the 82-84 version for 2 reasons, 1) is the more ornate edge, and 2) it's got plastic speaker grilles. Those may be swappable between the two as well for all I know.

I did a damp sponge with water cleanup, NO armor-all. This is how the 82-84 came out:

Then there is, of course, the 85-92 which I haven't even wiped down yet.

Who knows, maybe I'll sell one locally after and recoup some costs.
