next project

[no1kicker]

Thinking of starting a new project when my TA gets done. I've had these ideas floating around in my head for a bit.

 

1.) Take a cutlass convertible and turn it into a GP convertible. Use TGP body parts and a GP interior. Engine would be either the 3.1 turbo w/ bigger turbo, or L67 w/ few mods.

 

2.) Take a 4 door GP and add a B4U body kit, either the TGP-93 or 94-96 style. I would keep the lightbar. Engine would be same as above.

 

3.) Forget both, they are going to be money and labor intensive and might not ever get finished. I won't ever get the time and money back. And my parents might kill me if I bring home a non running car and take up more garage space.

 

1 and 2 would require finding a car w/ motor or tranny problems, hopefully, to save money. If I go with 3 I would probably pick up a 2nd gen GTP.

My vote went to a 4dr w/ B4U...just don't do that to your TSTE or any other TSTE.

[Psych0matt]

as awesome as a gp vert would be, I think it would be way too much time and effort to get that one done (and for it to look right)

I voted convertible project. But, the 4dr with B4U was a very close second. If you do the 4dr project, you have to get the 94-96 style B4U.

well, i think a GP convertable apearently has been done,

Or a regular GP with a fake top.

 

ASC had made ONE years ago.. and thats the only one that seemingly existed.

4-door B4U

why does that pic say "Stolen From J&M studios" on it? did Jeff M actually take the pic himself or did he just steal it from someone else? it would be a nice pic without the stupid watermark

[runt]

I would go for the 4door with the B4U kit on it. And go with a 3.1T, I don't think that the L67 is all that it's cracked up to be. I mean it would be a cool swap 'n all, but turbos are still cooler.

That TGP definitely has a fake convertible top. You can tell, because a real convertible top won't have that chrome bar at the bottom of the C-pillar. The chrome bar is a trademark of a company that makes carriage roofs for old fogies.

 

Forget both, they are going to be money and labor intensive and might not ever get finished. I won't ever get the time and money back. And my parents might kill me if I bring home a non running car and take up more garage space.

 

If any of the above is true, I say just keep dreaming!

that, and the sunroof kind of gives it away

[GnatGoSplat]

I never even noticed the sunroof!

[Jeorge]

that car has been on ebay 1 or 2 times...... it always sells for cheap too...

 

a tgp convert would be cool but so would a 3.4 5spd http://www.geocities.com/ste_turbo//Conv.jpg

4dr B4U convertible

 

dont forget the suiside doors in the rear and the lambo doors up front

[Prospeeder]

LOL< i didnt see the Sunroof, yea that one Jeorge posted, thats awsome, and of course real

[THe_DeTAiL3R]

^^^ I was just gonna suggest that!

 

All you gotta do is make the rear door suicide doors, and you're set to go

[Dannymik]

BFU 4 door!

[HokemBokem]

I love how so many people said keep dreaming

[mfewtrail]

You can always turbocharge an L67....they put down nice #'s(hp/torque and ET's).

[no1kicker]

Most of you did say keep dreaming. That's probably what will happen unfortunately. I do want to make a Grand Prix convertible, I think more than the B4U sedan. Just need to find one, and a place to keep it. :?

[z34_nut]

voted for the 4 door

 

the convertable just wouldn't look right IMO.
