Lol... I always kind of thought that Firebirds look bigger than they really are. How common are they in Europe?

In the Netherlands: Rare. You see a Ferrari more often and those are thinly spread... I've seen plenty of Corvettes though, including multiple Stingrays (not the early one, but the second one). Only time you see a Firebird is if they decide to air the Smokey movies or Knightrider...

I think I saw only one 3rd gen in my whole life. I've seen a couple of 4th gens around, but it's not such a nice car than the older ones were.

Can I ask a stupid question? For those of you that are outside of the US, I've always been curious: how difficult is it to find standard tools to work on those kinds of cars? (I wish we would switch to metric, not that it would help with the older vehicles.)
Here is the first model in the 1986 style and with updated wheel wells: Dark Red & Silver '86 http://sites.google.com/site/coolcra...-Silver-86.pdf Here is my disclaimer I don't foresee any problems but I haven't built one or tested the new wheel wells; I did print a section with the new bumper style and the black "grille inserts" should line up correctly. I'm planning to print one this week but if the last one is any indication it will probably take me a while to put it together

pontiac changed the hood and spoiler when they redesigned the body paneling for the 1985-1989 lineup, those grille inserts go to the standard firebird not the trans am option let me see if i can find some pics and in 1987 they eliminated the vents in front of the doors and in 1991 they changed the front grille

Actually it is not that hard, for instance here in Rotterdam there are several good tool-shops, and they have socket-wrenches and spanners in standard and metric sizes,for the more professional users , Snap-on is available here too.. I have a standard size spanner-set from the days I rode a HD Electra-glide, but that is a loooong time ago |

However, I did have a Trans Am that had base Firebird front and rear bumpers. It confused the hell out of people because no one knew exactly what it was. It was ugly as hell, too. <--- '84 Trans Am / '89 Firebird (donor) ---> And yes, I drove it looking like that for a while |
