GutlessSupreme Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Yes, that lovely creature is mine. I might not even have a problem with towing it. If I can: get a temporary front bumper cheap fix the front signals (duct tape? ) swap on my CS wheels w/ good tires replace the transmission pan (hopefully only the pan supposedly), than I can drive it home (he doesn't have stock wheels though *grr* oh well, hell of a deal ) I'm definetly rethinking a swap into the CS. Too much of the car just looks to be in too good of condition to part it.. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Nice! Can I have it? lol.. jk.. Nice score! Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Screw the CS, fix the TGP! It needs a lot of work, but it's definitely a lot more sporty looking than a white 4dr Cutlass. How much did she set you back? Looks like you have quite a project ahead of you, but it'll be worth it and fun too. Quote
White93z34 Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 :shock: hot damn thats nice! whats the cars story?? Quote

How much did she set you back? Looks like you have quite a project ahead of you, but it'll be worth it and fun too. $355. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7924744808&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT Not sure what the story is.. I'll find out later, I have to jet out the door to work now. It is law that car's are supposed to have bumpers right? lol I'm just trying to figure out what I can get away with. If I can get it up on jacks, replace the tranny pan (same pan between N/A and T?), fill it with ATF, swap the wheels and be on my way home, I will be VERY fucking happy. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 $355. Not bad, not bad at all! Parts shouldn't cost that much either. I think paint would be the most costly item it needs if the frame is straight. Quote
Maverick Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 I like how you got it from a guy who's email is Left Nut Larry.... did he make you kiss the right one? Quote
Jcrow Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 You could fix it with GP SE parts, I believe they are the same. My dad had an '89 grand prix SE and it had the same fog lights and side skirts as the turbo Quote

DaveFromColorado Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 wow, you can really see the w-body in that car messed up like that (lookin' at my car) they look so close to the same.. --Dave. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 You could fix it with GP SE parts, I believe they are the same. My dad had an '89 grand prix SE and it had the same fog lights and side skirts as the turbo SE has same foglights, headlights, and corner lights, but completely different side skirts and front/rear bumpers. Front bumper is TGP-specific. Rear bumper, side skirts, and valence are the same as 91-93 B4U (GT/GTP). Quote
digitaloutsider Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 WTF radio does that thing have? Quote

91GPSTE Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Are those American Racing 17" wheels? I just had a shipment of those at work. :shock: Quote
gp90se Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 You can have my spare (but cracked) TGP nose, hit me up with a PM and we'll work out a pickup/dropoff Quote
90TGP Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 The car still has the bumper [the black honeycomb stuff] on it. Quote

jeremy Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 glad to see that you are going to nurse her back to life...... Quote
mfewtrail Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 I guess I'm the only one that recognizes it, eh? A guy on the TGP board(might be here too) used to own it/possibly auctioned it off? I can't remember if it ever sold a few months ago or not, it wasn't wrecked then. :oops: I say restore the TGP back to stock or possibly mod it a bit along the way! Anyways, this is what it looked like with a front end. http://www.members.aol.com/platjblser/images/redtgp/sideview.jpg http://www.members.aol.com/platjblser/images/redtgp/front.jpg I might have some more pictures of it also, I'll post them if I do find more.

EurosportZ34 Posted October 8, 2004 Report Posted October 8, 2004 doesn't look too bad of a find good luck finding a new hood with louvers isn't that a GTP...it looks like that's what it says on the badges Quote
