Welcome New W-Body.com Members

[Imp558]

We've had an influx of new members due to another forum falling and I thought it might be a cool idea to do a little thread to help new members acclimate.

 

First of all, I'm really sorry GPF went down and took all the knowledge that was amassed there with it. If this forum went down I'd be devastated. I sincerely hope it bounces back before the domain expires.

 

So....

 

We have a "New Member Introductions" area to introduce yourselves if you'd like to post:

http://www.w-body.com/forum/46-new-member-introductions/

 

Here on W-Body.com we use the "Whatever" thread as kind of a wall to chit chat and just hang out:

http://www.w-body.com/topic/44595-whatever-v20/page-6437?do=findComment&comment=1249491

-I wouldn't advise starting on the first page since it's been running for years.

 

There's a gallery feature associated with our accounts that we can make use of, most of us run a thread on our cars so others can chime in with advice and comments in the "Member's Rides" section:

http://www.w-body.com/forum/23-members-rides/

 

There's a section to run a thread on our non- W-Body cars as well:

http://www.w-body.com/forum/20-other-cars/

 

Our "Write-Up" section is a little elusive but it's pretty good. For whatever reason or another they are in the "Faq's" section:

http://www.w-body.com/forum/24-frequently-asked-questions-faq/

Our FAQ's section is limited to posting by staff, if you'd like to do a write-up just put it in the appropriate section and staff will move it if it's appropriate.

 

 

We meet IRL at least once a year, typically it's along the great lakes but members from other areas can organize meets in different locations if there's interest:

http://www.w-body.com/forum/11-events/

 

So welcome new members to W-Body.com, a close network of friends.    Tom

It’s been way too long since I’ve been on here , so here is my Re-introduction. Have 1995 convertible , abody wagon and 2006 Montana ls4 which some know as manvan .  I no longer have my 3800 swapped 1995 cutlass sedan. (Miss it to this day).

I'm a sucker for the older 4-headlight Cieras. Also a sucker for any and all wagons.
That's a beautiful one you've got there. Lets forget that this is a W body forum for a second, and let me ask you about that A body, if I could...
What's with the primer? I see that the indicators are blacked out, and I'm digging the white Olds outline. What year is that thing? Did you swap the front fascia for earlier or something? I'm very curious.

Wow, all fantastic looking cars. Partial to the convertible though!

The previous owner liked 1986 front end look, so he found OEM front facia and put it on this 1996. I bought it and have been meaning to paint it so it matches. 
 

I couldn’t complain about some of paint peel and primer front end because low miles and rust free bottom side

Ooh, she's clean!  So glad you decided not to drive her thru the salt!

Not to rain on your parade as I prefer these early style of front ends...but really, if we're talking about legal stuff, that front end is not technically legal.

I absolutely love that corner area marked in sort of that grayish color with that emblem in the center. I think it's gorgeous!  But, on the newer style Ciera's, there would be a functional illuminated or maybe it's just a reflective corner lens.  The previous owner should have also switched out the bumper and kept the light that's mounted in the bumper ahead of the front wheels.  Like this.

Anyways, just something I noticed but no matter, the car is beautiful and I love it!

You’re not raining on my parade, I bought the car this way, I’ve been looking for bumper from sale vintage or color matching front end that I can convert back to 96 style. It’s matter of $ at this point . Don’t have ton $$ to do it
