Addicted to eaton Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 I have decided to park the grand Prix and drive the monte carlo. So this will give me the time to work on the grand Prix what I would like to start with is. Motor mounts. Transmission Mounts, how would I know if they are blown? The next thing I would like to do is put a power steering rack and pinion in it. Then I will probably have it realigned. Put new tires on it, get the tail light fixed, then get a new sun roof. Then I would like to get a new bumper, Hood, fender, and have that side repainted I would also like to get the front bumper and rear bumper inlays painted the silver that it is supposed to be. They’re in any ways. And have the reflected Pontiac’s stickers put on it in the back. Then I will have the cross laces powder coded. And polished up. Then I would like to start on the suspension don’t really know what I am going to do with it. But it makes a popping/ rattling noise when I go over bumps. Anybody have any idea what that is? Any ways that is about it How do I know if the motor/transmission mounts are blown? Can someone help me with what I’m going to need for the suspension?

Anthony, There's a place here locally who uses some type of adhering paint (like magnetically or some junk) and does it really cheap. The only drawback might be that you might not be able to mask the lip and I'm assuming that would be a huge appearance issue, might be something to look into in terms of getting it done professionally and relatively cheap. Best of luck with the polishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to eaton Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 ok my horn works when it wants. Its weird it will honk the high horn or the low horn or sometimes both horns. I can be sitting in a parking lot not moveing at all and go to honk it and it will not honk. 2 mintues later it will honk the low horn. try it again nothing little bit later it will honk again. No rhyme or reason at all. Im thinking ground? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted to eaton Posted October 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 anyone know where the ground's are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95 vert Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 If I remember right, the ground is the horn mount. I've seen this before and it usually ends up being the horn itself. Try having someone push the horn button while you "tap" on the horns. Also, most horns have a little adjustment screw on the body of it and you can turn that to change the pitch of the horn(or make it work if it is inop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
