Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

So putting my back up on pull it apart clean it up make it stop and new power steering is on its way because it's winning really loud when cold and when I turn some times

Power steering issue is only when beating on the car, so when I find my super long funnel I'll fill the power steering fluid. Also bought 9007 Halogens for when BoostedPontiac's headlights get here, and when I get a few more paychecks I'll be doing front and rear sway bars.

Besides the usual fix, break, scratch head, repair on the ol GTP and painting some more stuff.

Got a GT with a friend today, seemed like a good deal, needs some bodywork TLC but rust free exterior, 157k, leather, sunroof, HUD, autostart for $1k.

One of the cleanest 6th gens I've seen under the hood in person, lol. Still had original VC gaskets, LIM gasket, plastic coolant elbow, and intake gaskets but there was barely any leakage anywhere on it. Oil pan had very minimal leaking, overall looked pretty good for 156k.

I'm jealous of letting him buy it, but I don't have time for another project, lol.

For $1000, he could easily make double his money if he cleans up the body. That was a good find. What type of person was the PO? Like old lady or something?

Yeah, for sure. The guy he bought it from had someone offer $1,200 if he'd sell it before we got there, lol.

Guy in his late 50s, his 3/4 kids used it as a college car, and his wife drove it. A Jeep replaced it, lol.

Lucky bastid lol. Is your friend gonna project car it or do a quick flip?
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

It's to replace his rusted out 170k '05 Merc Sable, as in there is nothing much after the door sills left on the bottom. He fell in love with the GP as soon as he drove it. :P

Him and I might fix it together and split the profit, not sure yet, lol. He wants a Sedan, or a PT Cruiser ultimately.

Nothing today but yesterday took my Dad's 06 to get some used tires put on to replace the worn out ones on the passenger side. Got the spares from my old 08 out of my garage and put to use which works for me.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I installed new motor and trans mounts. Car feels much smoother, took care of some drivetrain vibrations. Also cleaned out the garage and made room to park the gp inside.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

We had some heavy rain here this past Sunday. Went out to head to work and what do I find? The passenger side floor with an inch or more of water. Damn. Ordered the upgraded water deflector from my local dealer and installed it this morning.($4.95)


Everything cleaned and replaced:
