Update on my Grand Prix...11-15-06

Hey guys.

It's been awhile since I've gotten some new pics up, so here it goes. As you've seen, I got some new wheels and tires. Got a great deal from a shop about a half an hour from me. 14 inch American Racing chrome Torq-Thrusts. I can't tell if they're II's or D's or anything. They're kinda older. They have a classic looking AR script on them, then a swooshy American flag color scheme. Look like something 80's. Regardless, Hoosier white letter street radials too. Look GREAT on the car! They completely change the look of it! Plus, I cleaned under the hood more, removed the underhood material, and tinkered with a few more things. I also sprayed the air cleaner cover and bracing bars black too. I also scrubbed the hell out of the interior too. Before winter, I want to spray the carpet black with fabric spray, and hopefully respray the top again. Fix any holes in floor if they're there too. Then, in spring, I'm doing a full tune-up, full brake job, speakers, bodywork, installing the gauges, installing a colum mount tach, and installing a Hurst-Indy floor shifter for my auto. Plus, installing my Thrust Turbo muffler and putting a straight pipe in for the cat because I'm getting PA Classic plates.

So here's just a few pics. It's kinda dirty because I've been working on it...

Not bad, looks a hell of a lot better than mine at the moment.

haha! Thanks man! The wheels and tires completely changes the look of the car! I'm SO happy with them!

i really like the white letter look, if i end up with tt2's i'll definately get white lrtters.

Very nice! I like the gauge cluster, that will deff. be a nice addition. The interior looks amazing! Thats awesome, interior work can get expensive really fast. Your right about the wheels and tires, they make all the difference in the world. I'm not sure what AR wheels those are, they're not TT II's, they look like Cragers almost. But it looks 100% better!

I'm very happy with how everything's comming together. I can't wait until spring so I can do the brakes and everything and get her back on the road legally. I'll be starting on more body work also so that more of the panels are primered instead of only the drivers side fender and door. I think I've settled on a dark gun-metal grey for the car. That with the black vinyl top and the chrome all over the rest of the car, I think will look great!

If you have the pics on your computer you need to post them on a host site, like Cardomain and then use the IMG tab on the reply screen and insert the address, you'll find that by right clicking on the picture and scrolling down to properties and it'll be there. If you have any more questions PM me 😀
