Dear god, where do you work?

 

[Green97GTP]

i own a used car dealership. sort of, i buy cars that need work, put them back to 100 percent and sell them.

 

[Green97GTP]

only have 13-15 cars at one time. i fix and sell one a week for an avg of 2000-6000 dollar profit. last flip was a 2001 impala, gave 200 for it. needing motor, fender, and speedo fixed, and cleaned up big time. i bought a 2000 grand am that was wrecked for the motor, and parted out the rest of the car. makeing about 1,000 off the grand am, and put all that money but 200 into the impala, so now i have 0 dollars invested, and just sold the impala for 3500. took about a week of work, put a fender, new head lights, fixed all the little things, new brakes, upper and lower intake gaskets, new plugs and wires, vss, and just odds and ends. plus i pick my own hours and i love how they turn out.

 

[Green97GTP]

[SeanGTP]

[Green97GTP]

here are some random pictures of stuff i have did to the car

replacing the wheel speed sensors, fixing the rear o2 sensor, replacing brake reservoir, and plugs, wires, and vc gaskets, and random stuff.


total investment, inlcuding parts, car, gas, is now probably nearing the 200 dollar mark.

[Green97GTP]

the question.. leave it bumper together like it is, and mold it in and make it look factory (already started) and keep the option to go back factory any time.

OR Cut the ash tray mount out. move the a/c control down. and put the cross bar back on.. and fiberglass the ash tray opening closed. But making it Very hard to go back to stock
