Addicted2bass Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 O man to much stuff to list! -Replace DIC -Find where the oil leak is -Get new tires, the bad struts destroyed the ones on the car now, especially the rears -Get the back half of the car repainted, this will most likely be my first project in the spring -Clean engine compartment -New headliner -HID conversion -Find a STB and put that on -Take out the pioneer 5800 i have in there now and install a flip-out screen -New subs and amp because the kickers are most likely goin in the buick once i take the tgp off the road Quote
3.1cutlass Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Make power and have boosted fun Quote
Spilly Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 My license got suspended for till next week (nothing traffic related) so the Buick will be parked in for a few weeks. Anyways it's getting A new windshield (not looking forward to paying for that) radiator (it's leaking and it's gonna start freezing soon, can't keep running water through it) Tires Front pads and rotors Rear struts and ZZP sway bar Then time to find an L36 or L67 to tear down and build over the winter as well as the HD tranny. Motor swap has gotta happen. Quote
jman093 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 6speed swap Really? Like the F40 tranny from a G6 GTP? I would think that'd prolly take some fabbing to get it in place, plus different axle shafts. What are your plans? For me, I just got the front of the car repainted: Hood, fenders, fender skirts, new fascia. Looks pretty slick now, so my 87 SS needs my attention now, namely getting rid of the boat anchor in it for a Gen 3/4 small-block. Quote
88Regal Limited Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 my goal is get it to be inspection-able-ish-ie, which means probably breaks all around and a new line in the front, and I should be good to go for the winter! Quote
ismellrealbad Posted October 19, 2008 Report Posted October 19, 2008 Im'a get it out of paperweight status (get it running again) x eleventy billion here Quote

Shifter23 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Tranny pump in one 90 TGP, Fuel pump in another, struts in a TSTE and tons of money would be nice so i can swap 3.1 Turbo setup into a fiero! Quote
GP1138 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 New spark plugs too. Little bit of hesitation right now... Quote

You should take pictures and do a write-up on the swap. I've seen it swapped into an N-body, but not a W. Quote

92GPSpeeder Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Well after the body repairs from getting rear ended I plan on installing the DIC for now then doing an HID conversion. Next spring I will put the HUD in when i have more time and I don't need to worry about school. Quote
LuckoftheGTP Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 Well for my '94 GTP. See how bad the rust is by the gas tank and repaint the spoiler (paint cracking) and rear bumper (turning a faded white) the car being dark green. If $$ is good to me Put new mufflers in. Stock tips or polished. oh and put new GTP badging (semi-custom) Quote
grandprixnyc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Hoping it lasts until the spring so I can unload it and get something else. Quote
cutty Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 replacing the radiator and then possibly selling it Quote
swift13 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 new top, body work and paint, interior swap(75% complete), engine(unsure wether to replace repair or swap.) exhaust, and just about everything else needed to make it like new even all the little stuff. might take a couple hundred years but ive got time. Quote
logikf1ve Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Running it till it breaks, then fix it. Repeat until it rots away to the point it isn't worth fixing. Of course it gets a wash/wax every month or so. Quote
