My $800 GTP build thread!

thats all fine and dandy if you got 2-3k to dump, but when you get a car that needs 300 into it, and you work in a body shop and get parts for nothing and do all your own body work...why blow 3k on a GP?? I would NEVER spend over 1500 on a GM W-body, to many problems and the rot fast. Only reason i own this car is because it was decent, what i wanted and in my price range with little work to do
 


under the fuel door isnt that bad, just cut it out with a grinder and weld in a patch pannel. I had to do it on my 98. I did have the best paint guy in the world do the painting!!! he also fixed i dent in my front fender that the previous owner tryed to fix with what looks like a screwdriver. looked like a bees hive ....but good luck on the GP

You figuring $300 for all this? Lemme know where you get your deals.
 
when you work in a shop you get a cheap parts, point. anyway the car is all mechanically done, was driving it and now its gonna need a crank sensor so after i hunt down a 3800 crank puller then i will update with some pics
 
What is the status on your car? Do you still own it? Got any updated pictures? Is the car in your thumbnail the same car? Can't see much of it, but what you can see looks real good. Would love some updates though...what else is/was done, how did it turn out, how much do you have in it now, etc.
 


3 year old thread and the guy hasn't been online in 2 years to boot!

I'd say your post is a FAIL in a major way!!!

His avatar picture looks a lot different than the pictures originally posted of the car, so it seems he has made some progress since. I asked a valid question about an interesting project. How is that a fail? Your post on the other hand was a total flaming waste of space and contributed nothing to anyone. That is my definition of FAIL. Your own build thread went nearly a year with nothing and then had a similar question posted (which you bothered to go back and reply to). You seem to have a history of replying to failed posts, so:

I'd say your post is a FAIL in a major way!!!
