I bought this 1985 Grand Prix back in 2005 from the daughter of the original owner for $500. 43,000 miles on the 305, a like new interior, good paint and a decent vinyl top. Had rust on the bottoms of the doors and both sets of hinges were shot, but otherwise it looked nice back then. Brought it home and the 14" wheels and fake spoke hubcaps went in the dumpster for a set of 15" Rally II's left over from one of my Grand Am's, several years and 12,000 miles later the now worn out 305 was pulled for a rebuilt low mile 4 bolt 350 yanked from a Camaro about to be junked, I replaced the rotted left door and hinges with clean parts, added the spoiler, and then It got parked for...I don't remember why now 10 years outdoors and several parking spaces later I am finally tired of watching it slowly deteriorate...so now begins the process of making it at least a driver again. As it sits now...

the measurements and installation procedure for the T/A spoiler were copied from one of the very rare dealership built 1986 'GTO's...made and sold at Napoli Pontiac here in CT, A trip to the pull-n-save looking for better tires yesterday (car runs like *ss after sitting so long) and...there's a 84 GP in with the cars waiting to be crushed Screw the tires, I grabbed the right door...
...and hood...
Tonight I plan on going to a friends shop for some after hours lift time, swap the door and hood, fix the hood release, change the oil, check and adjust the brakes, grease the front end, just see how bad is the rust/rot underneath...found out already that the heater fan doesn't work any more, the right door doesn't open from the outside and I think the sheetmetal broke at the bolt hole on the lower track mount as the top of that window wobbles bad when it's up, and none of the locks match so I'll need to recode a set for the car... gonna be a long night!
