Thank you, i like the car low km and in pretty good condition. Roof rails clear is peeling, 1 rust spot on fender under gas door ( looks like the paint chipped off) and the gas door is falling off ( I can't find one and i refuse to pay the dealer 81$ and then money to paint it ). I also just installed my LED tails but are having trouble with them =( and no one is helping. I'm also debating keeping the rims or putting on shelby gt500 rims. I love the 40th but they are peeling and need to be refinished and it may be nice to keep the car sleeper =p

Nope more mechanical, and electrical. No worries my neighbor works at a body shop i was thinking of ripping them off and the heat extractors and having it painted black, it would really set off the tint i think opinions? Also if you could find a fuel door tho i would love you long time lol. No where here in Ontario can i find one :(
 
no junk yards around lol ill look for ya.. and yea i think black will look good but if your planning on selling that car in the near future keep it stock as can be but black would set it off just dont ever get rid of your rails !

Yeah since they don't fit exactly and need work to make them fit i don't wanna pay good money for a nice set that I'm gonna have to pour hours into anyways.. id rather get a less than perfect set.
 


Re: What did you do to your Grand Prix today?

On my high school teacher's prix I checked it out. I still doubt that her head gaskets are bad, so I told her I'm just about positive that it's the intake gaskets but that I want a compression test to be sure. So I'll probably do that this weekend and then depending we will order gaskets and get it done. I do know her elbows are leaking worse than mine did, pouring coolant down the front of the motor and onto the motor mount. Oil looked fine smelled fine. Around the intake gaskets it was pretty smudged up. But coolant was pouring down the front, looked to be coming from elbows.

But she wants to keep it she likes it. So we shall do just that.
 
Uncovered her. Drove it to work(30 miles) one way missed 4 deer, drove it home, cleaned it and back into the garage.
