Hello!
My first GP was a 1971 SJ with a 400 back in 1980, after that I must have bought, drove, beat to a piss, repaired, beat to a piss, restored about 8 or 10 more including a 455 SSJ.
Many years later, I am the owner of a 2000 Grand Prix GTP with 'fighter pilot' technology, HUD, controls on the wheel and that super in dash 'computer' display. I love the car and have shed both money and blood to keep her going.
So far, CV axle, lower control arm, front sway bar, wheel bearings, front/rear quick struts, power window motor, lower motor mounts.
Things for the future, please if you've done any or have a comment, share your story:
My ABS/TCS and SRS Airbag lights are on.
Rocker panels, seems these are a known curse.
Gas tank leak when tank is full, filler neck o-ring?
My current question, please let me know if it should be posted elsewhere on the forum:
After doing lower trans/motor mounts, I am getting a definite clunk when dropping into reverse and a lesser clunk when putting in drive. It is not an all the time thing, it is however more often then not. Occasionally, it will not hold when on a hill.
Additional info, drivers side cv shaft replaced, idles nicely at about 600 RPM but does not hold, revving to about 800 -900 and she holds on a hill.
