found a bad ass doner car

[Garrett Powered]

found a 1990 pontiac 4 door with light grey interior!!!!!!

 

Im going out tomorrow to grab a huge pile of parts off it.

 

might take me all day but imma pull the tail lights, headlights, sun visors, battery cover(jims car didnt have one), little plastic center vent surround(busted by thieves when stereo stolen), pontiac shield emblem.

 

all these parts are in PERFECT CONDITION !!!! the car must have been garaged because barely any oxidation.

the taillights are the solid red type and I think they would look very handsome on a TGP.

 

score!

If you want a grey donor car, there's a 90 SE with grey leather...pretty damn good shape...at a local pull yard.

[Garrett Powered]

really?@?@?! where? what state?

 

I am actually looking for a good driver seat. well, both seats.

 

the lumbar ones? my seats got 190k on them all original. that would be real nice.

 

 

jim, thats a grand prix LE 1990 silver/grey. we should go check it out together before you go to work today.

The driver's seat is so-so, but the rest is great...New Ulm, Minnesota. The guy put a price tag in the window at $994, but before that it was a parts car...and since it's ben sitting for years, I'm sure he'll revert to parting it out once again.

 

If you need more info, email me at grinders_18@hotmail.com, and I can try and snap some pics when I get a free day this weekend.

heh heh, I obviously should have checked these forums earlier. (work is in an hour)

Good news is my new K&N RU 1390 was in so I went and picked it up, still gotta swap it

out for the stock one.

preciate it grinders but that will probably be too much in shipping. thanks anyway.

 

well back to the yard, got half my shit pulled

Kyle- is that 90 SE an auto or a manual? Oh that reminds me- we should meet up before the end of the month.

[krenzy]

Auto...yeah we should...wanna make your way down here a bit? Otherwise, we could shoot for the early end of September on a weekend...

[Garrett Powered]

man what a haul!

 

this car was way better than expected. will have to post some pics of these 60,000 mile solid red tail lights. they cleaned up and look like brand new almost! yep! 60K on the dash. I looked and almost fainted. garaged too I am guessing. why its in the bone yard is a mystery, almost 100% straight body, missing the motor/tranny. was pulling this near perfect tranny mount and damn near shit when I see the condition of this subframe.

anybody know if the 4 door subframe will work on a coupe?????

I am planning on dropping a motor/tranny in soon and will probably purchase the subframe since its perfect condition rubber parts and everything.

 

anyway , got a huge pile of parts to install.. well my GF pulled/installed the visors for me already so thats done.

[Garrett Powered]

It had an aluminum dogbone!!!! It only had one though unfortunately.

 

I have NEVER seen or heard of those.....Im sure others have because apparently they do exist. I just never knew about them for some reason.

 

...so will that subframe work?

A 1st gen W subframe is a 1st gen W subframe. I don't think they differ between sedan and coupe.

HA!! I knew it. actually I got another one from a TGP to compare it.

 

bet its gonna be a tight ride with a brand new front end.
