OK so the story goes.. i found this very car two weeks ago listed on craigslist for 2200 cl said it has been up there since dec... when i contacted him he reduced the price to 1500 on cl...i talked to him he let me know what the car was doing at the time... and he said it needed nothing.. soo i talked him down to 1300 over the phone.. this was on a friday.. he told me if it doesnt sell by sunday its yours... i said ok.... so sunday comes... he says i have another person coming later this week to get it so i already called bull.shi.t and started searching for more... so a week passed he still havent contacted me.. i texted him maybe three or four days ago no response.. soo alex (zero) wrote me on here telling me his friend seen one for sale.. come to find out its the same car... so i told zero i was coming down to take a look... i went down there yesterday 2/3/12 w/ my brother and gf to look at the car.. i met up with zero friend he gave me directions to the place... while on the way to the house we came across a red light.. i happen to look over and said look at the gtp at the gas station.. then looked closer and seen the bigg ass forsale sign in the window... at the time i looked over and seen the car i noticed my bro car oil press dropped completely... so i made my bro do a uturn and i caught the guy putting air in the back tire.. i asked i see its forsale... *(this is the same guy from craigslist)* i know its him he doesnt know its me... so i asked about the car he said yea i would like 1500 for it... i said i dont quite have 1500 but i do have 1100 CASH.. thats when i pulled out the money and started playing with it in my hand. then he frowned up his face starting to say i cant do that.... then BOOOOM!!!! the tire blows completely... then he jumps and say "IF YOU GOT 1100 RIGHT NOW CASH ILL SIGN THE DAM TITLE OVER" SHO NUFF HE DID.... then back to the mc problem... his lifters are now tappin to hell..so then i called (sarasotagtp) bill and texted zero to dig up some info on the car... *(thanks to both of those guys for the help) bill and zero both informed me about the pressure switch soo thats when we brought an oil pressure switch and oil pump but only put the pressure switch in.. the pressure came back but the tappin still loud as shi.t.... so anyways fixed the mc sorta took the gtp back to ga misfiring to hell (now fixed) and now she sits in my driveway.... cool story bro i know.. goood thing is its all true


and for shi.ts and giggles look at this ish i seen while down in st augistine..

Can't expect to much for $1100. It doesn't look to bad at all. Hood spray bombed?

Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

Looks pretty good to me for 1100, one junkyard run and your interior will be fixed;)

you right about that... well except the dash top.. but im not gettin in any carshows so thats fine
 
Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

mkk. well you already know how me and the interior are, so ill leave that one alone, i know its a work in progress for ya lol.

but damn that hood..

but for 1100 if it's running and driving good i suppose you did alright kid ;)




ugh i can't resist. me, those seats, those door panels, that dash, would not get along. k im done :)
 


Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

the console and seats will be replace.. and idk how to fix the plastic on the dash
 
Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

i mean...it's all one piece. it's gonna be a PITA. that's why i was so anal when i bought my gtp, it was GOING to have a nice interior. the GT had a beat up dash as well and i hated it. that warping that all the 97-03s tend to do really get on my nerves. wish they wouldn't do that. curling up at the tip lol.
 
Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

Pulling the dash isn't really hard... just takes a while. You could also dye the new one while it's out to 2-tone the interior. I think black and tan 2-tone would be sick personally.

thats the plan dre.. im goin to grab some monte black leather seats.... and black carpet..
 


Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

I just put some new rubber mats in mine and took the 14 year old carpet ones out, its looks much cleaner and smells much better haha I recommend you do the same.

A good detailing including a scrubbing of the interior door panels and dash and seats, and you got yourself a nice(r) car. Good luck with it. You know if the lim was done?
 
Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

Sweet... then do the door plastic black, leave the tan leather inserts... eventually some seat covers for the monte seats in black/tan leather... yeah... definitely could be unique and nice.

Re: gtpshawty's new gtp.. (*KAILEYS PROJECT*)

Awesome plan. I'm sure it'll come together sweet as hell. Lucky finding a running gtp for that price... that'll never happen around here.
