Started another little side project

My wife and I have been selling a lot of parts to make some extra money, and we're planning on starting to flip some cars to help us build up our savings once little B3 gets here.
We've burned through most of my stock of parts, still have a few left but we're running low. We also bought a 91 Formula that we're going to be replacing the transmission in and doing some other work to, then reselling.
We're hoping to use some of the money from selling the 91 to buy a few parts cars to sell parts off of, and keep our eyes open for other ones.
Put a webpage up for it, too. Name started out as a drunk idea a friend and I hatched up, but it kind of stuck.

Since i see you have done some 3rd gens, have you had to replace any of the rear hatch hinges? I can't seem to find a decent pair and my hatch is out of alignment. Do you know where i can get a pair of hinges that are in good shape?

I don't have any in the shop, but we're heading on a parts run this weekend. I'll look for those hinges and an LS1 reservoir. --

I think they are attached to the outside of the reservoir.
You need a functional windshield washer to pass inspection? That really sucks. --

$1300 as it sits. Has new tires and brakes, just needs a transmission to be driveable.
Oh, and the spoiler is broken, but we have all the pieces to mend it back together. --

It's a really nice car, far from a roller. I can drive it around, just can't go past 2nd gear.
I may have leads on a few local ones, let me see what I can do for you. --

Your "little side" projects keep becoming less and less little. I am waiting for the "I started another little side project today with the wife while the kids are at school. We are building a miniature cold fusion reactors from popsicle sticks and used gum wrappers" project.
Good luck with the restos.

First rescue is gone. We took the 92 Firebird we had been taking apart in my parents garage, put it back together, and sold it to a guy who is going to redo the wiring, put a transmission in it, and fix it up. Another one saved from the scrapyard.
Tomorrow my 91 Formy comes to my house and starts to be fixed up and ready for resale. --
