Pulling it 600 miles to Iowa, where my best friend (a FANTASTIC mechanic) is going to pull the motor and tranny, and COMPLETLY rebuild them, as well as do a bunch of suspension work (some maintence and some performance), after thats done, one of my old classmates (now a bodyman) is going to fix all dents and paint the car (a bright blue) jambs and all..

Crazy K Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I prefer a white STE, but blue won't be too bad. The rims on that car should be color keyed to match the car... hench... make it white!!!!! but ni8ce finds and catches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Go with striker blue. Like on the 09 g8s. That color is hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rims on that car should be color keyed to match the car... hench... make it white!!!!! but ni8ce finds and catches! Ive always wanted an STE, and a Blue car.. figured might as well combine them! I will color match the wheels though I have my upholstery guy getting me a quote now, the seats are going to be suede/leather, black with blue stitching, suede headliner, etc (car currently has black interior, whoo hoo) Go with striker blue. Like on the 09 g8s. That color is hot. THANK YOU! The blue i picked was *close* but THAT is the color im looking for!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze93 Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 What year is the GTP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visitor Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 What year is the GTP? Its a 1994. Pretty "base" for a gtp. No sunroof or HUD, or leather. I already have the hud out of a PAP car. leather shows up often there as well, so ill get that in time! Goal is to ultimatly set it up VERY similar to AWEB's car (love love love that car!)

visitor Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Seems a good place for this question- what are the chances the 94 is prewired for HUD? It's a gtp. How bout the 93 STE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Pull out the gauge cluster and look for a plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How bout the 93 STE? 94-96 GPs are pre-wired if ABS equipped. (till proven otherwise) 93... probably. especially since it is an STE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visitor Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Got it picked up today! This doesn't look good... The whole filler neck of the radiator looks like this might need a new radiator? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Looks like a good project. That radiator might be trashed. You could try to flush it, but that stuff looks crusty. Replacing it might be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatTheFehl Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 So that's what the volume button looks like when you pull all the rubber off... She definitely has potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
