• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

The Barn



Updated for the first time in a long while. Cleaned up the thread and put all the pictures in the first post... and made them smaller.

Considering I sold my rusty 99 with 217k and a 2x4 strut tower for more than I paid for my current GTP, a 2000 with less miles, less rust, and more mods... Maybe. If law doesn't work out.

I have mastered the art of buying low, I'm not so good at selling high. I should go into purchasing, not sales. :D

(Thread is updated to show recent purchase)
 
Updated to include the $475 Buick (and how quickly it was sold).

Debating a partial demod of my black GTP over the winter. Thinking of yanking the intercooler and Gen V and top swapping a rockered LeSabre instead... put a Gen III back on the GTP with the S1X setup and sell it, use the money for a trans on the LeSabre once it breaks?
 


I saw the gtp on craigslist and was looking at it and found it on here (concidence right? Lol) but didnt realize the hood and bumper were still not fixed! Would be nice though for a decent price (;

Yep still not fixed

And pulled from sale. I'll fix the hood this winter along with some new headlights and a bumper cover. I'm going to keep a stock appearance, or as close to it as possible. It doesn't attract attention from the law.

I turned down a $4100 cash offer when I realized it would cost me at least that much to do my top swapped LeSabre build and it would still be slower.

For the price I'm just going to find some Regal seats and stick them in my GP
 
Finally got the black car on the dyno

Someone tell Russdinoguy that it's slower than slowkar

Got my front speakers working again...

I had picked two Bose speakers at the junkyard and was going to put them in... pulled the driver's side door panel off, began playing with the wire, only to find out that not only did the driver's side speaker worked once I cleaned off the wires, but suddenly the passenger one came back to life too. So I threw it all back together and called it a day. Anybody want some front Bose speakers?
 


Been playing around with the Cavalier in the past week. Got one window (the driver side) working. Also replaced the passenger side fender, it was pretty gnarly. Should be sold next week
 
Cavalier is sold.

Bought a pair of Monroe one-piece strut assemblies off Craigslist on Friday evening. A round of haggling later and we agreed at the price of $54 (also known as all I had in my wallet). He originally wanted $80, and I know they are like $200+ new for a pair on Amazon, so....

Car rides so much better now. Install went down without too much trouble. Now I don't feel like I'm riding a mechanical bull any time I hit a bump.
