    This is my 97 after a bad accident.
    I started putting her back together over 3 years ago
    This is how she has evolved

    The dates on the pictures are all out of whack




    New parts From ebay and the junk yard.

    Piecing her back together slowly







    Primer and straightened frame

    Finally looking like a Grand Prix again





    And She's off for paint. (orange crush pearl)
    hence my gp-forums user name







    Now The fun begins.
    MODS!!!
    Modular pulley system
    VS cam
    valve springs
    exhaust
    headers
    new brakes
    intake
    tune
    ported blower
    new tie rods
    new wheel bearings
    New gaskets, plugs, wires etc...







    Now we have a low 13 second sleeper!

    The Power of the car did not match the color at all, so decided to repaint Bright red with White rally stripes (plus my orange turned out copper)


    A little too brown for me










    Turns out, the car was too fast for the suspension, so I had to do some upgrades.

    Shortly after, the tranny started to go out, so I called up Dave at triple edge performance to bring her back to life.


    BACK TO THE SHOP AGAIN!!!






    TEP Street/Strip Transmission 3.29's




    New Dynomax Mufflers and tips on The gp

    Lowered 1.1/4 inch by ssc springs




    And after a little cleaning up, New parts and painting under the hood. This is how she sits today
