Welcome to the forum, I too am in central Florida, on the west coast. About to turn 18.

That's a good looking Pontiac, where are you at in central Florida?
 
Just right up the road from me, I'm down in Lecanto. 😀
 
Well one of the main problems with this car is that it didnt have brakes, I bled the rears, that went fine, then came the fronts, the front driver side of course was stripped out, so I thought no problem just take the wheel and get vice grips on it, well nope the owner before me obviously had no idea what he was doing, he put standard lug nuts on metric studs. So after 2 hours of cutting off lug nuts with a cut off wheel I finally got the front wheels off. I took the caliper off and put it in the vice to get the stripped bleeder out. Well that didn't exactly work as you can tell in the pics. So I just decided to say screw it and went to advanced auto today and got 2 new rotors (had to because of the studs) and 2 new calipers, about to mount them up i'll post pics here soon.

Hey Justin, welcome aboard. Nice looking GrandPrix you have there, and with a 400 Pontiac to boot 😀 Nice to see another Poncho.

Bummer about the brakes but sometimes it`s just best to get new parts than dick around with old broken stuff.

Keep us posted and always post lots of pics.
