98 gp gt

Here she is!
My car with over 211,000 miles.
Only picture I have with it looking all shiny and fixed. Believe it or not, i rebuilt the whole area around the gas door. That pesky rust spot on all salty state W-Bodies.
The engine the bottom block of a 2007 GT. So there is plenty of life in this car.
Not so bad for $2k, at least i don't think so

What did you do to fix it? sand, prime, paint, clear?

 

[Kolton Lock]

well i grinded it down to bare metal... bare metal ended up being a whole through the fender... so i took a metal backing and welded it on, i can imagine you could do a fiberglass mesh too. and then i bondo-ed for days until it was perfect, and prime, paint, clear.

What site are you using?

When I use photobucket its only like a 1200x1000 picture, and fits peferct.

 

[Kolton Lock]

I use photobucket, but I also use my professional camera

The bottom end in your car is out of a 07 gt? So you have a low compression bottom end?

 

[Kolton Lock]

It feels like it, but I haven't actually gotten a scanner or taken to dyno yet.

 

[gtpeddie]

why does it say 4.5 L on the engine cover?

 

[Kolton Lock]

Like I mentioned in my thread about boring cylinders, I have no idea lol.

It was on the head covers too but I wiped it off...

 

[dsmuts]

4.5 l of oil
