Spilly Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Regal Limited Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share 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!

Shifter23 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92GPSpeeder Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckoftheGTP Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logikf1ve Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
