Hello all, I'm a noob to the forum. I recently picked up a 03 Grand Prix GT for a project. I've always liked them and after driving my truck for last 3 years, I wanted something a little more fun to drive.
So I picked up this GP with a blown motor. it was leaking antifreeze and buddy keep putting water into it, then winter hit and it froze over. she burns anti freeze real bad, and has a bad miss. he also blow a frost plug out. I'm guessing the head gaskets or heads are cooked.
Anyways, I picked up a rotten GTP which has a good engine. I plan on doing a top swap, as long as the block is good in the N/A.
On with the pictures! oh... PS: Soplado is Spanish for "blown"
The Project car
Got these LED Tails for free. The girlfriend also has a GP(you can see in the picture above) I ordered her a set of LED tails off ebay and they came chipped, so they sent me a new pair. well the chip isn't that bad, so I put these on my car!
Blown engine and engine bay is full of undercoating...
Cleaned up the engine bay a bit, engine is almost ready to come out.
The whole works is out, now tire for the tear down.
Donor car
After removing the side skirt, I found this... Rockers will be replaced.
