This is going to be a bit of a log for my project donor car tear down and 3.8L engine build. I am also going to start a sale thread for parts that I pull so if you see something you want you can either ask over there or PM me.
So I came across this 2002 GP GTP 40th Anniversary on craigslist for a price I couldn't refuse.
I'm going for a turbo build on the engine and thought I was getting a SC 3.8L since this was a GTP but this car seemed to have a really hard past (I even found court papers about the original owner having to attend AA) and I don't have any of the cars records other then the title. Even if it didn't have a SC I was going down to the bare block anyway to put in new pistons/fresh bore/deck the block and heads. I also don't feel bad doing a SC to turbo setup since I'd hate to gut the SC.
The interior was in really bad shape. I think that the rear passenger window was rolled down so it had maybe 2 years worth of rain and sun.....lots of sun since I'm in San Diego. There's still some decent salvageable parts from the dash and sunroof.
