Got it loaded up (sucked BAD)! 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.. I know most of ya dont care, but im excited!

here it is loaded up-

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!

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!!!

get new wheels too.... STE wheels = :puke:

 

uhhhhh ya. they're pretty terrible. Ill likely be recycling them, unless someone wants/needs em.

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!)

I like the decals on the side. Haven't ever seen those. I have a 94 wonder where I can get them?

Any competent vinyl guy can make em for you!

I'll be watching this for sure! Always interested in seeing Grand Prix sedan project cars!

Thanks! Your car is a bit of an inspiration to me honestly, even though we have different goals, your dedication is admirable!

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?

94-96 GPs are pre-wired if ABS equipped. (till proven otherwise)

 

93... probably. especially since it is an STE.

The whole filler neck of the radiator looks like this :( might need a new radiator? Thoughts?

Posted

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.

So that's what the volume button looks like when you pull all the rubber off...

 

She definitely has potential.
