Charcoal, 10000000x times better.....yea now just need some dark tint

NY3rdgen, some nice shots

 

NY3RDGEN, that's a sweet looking ride. I was going to ask what that was hanging down in the front but then clicked on your link in your sig and realized it's an intercooler. That thing must fly.
I also noticed you went without a wing (like myself) do you plan on ever putting one on? I noticed you still have the clips on your hatch, I had grinded mine off as I didn't plan on ever putting one back on.
Also, have you ever brought it to a track? 1/4 mile

 

It's on the list. After wheels. And possibly after having the front bumper re-painted.

 

Actually i have a Hawks fiberglass spoiler for it. Just havent had the time, effort or energy to put it on lately. But it will be there eventually. Im happy i have well documented the spoiler'less look though. Nope no 1/4 times.. Nearest track is in another state, way too far for a drive.

 

Here is my baby.

 

NY3RDGEN that is one good lookin bird, hoping mine will look that good when I start on the exterior.

 

Thanx Bro..
You Have a PM.

 

Carlover, car looks great, whats the deal with the ground fx????

 

Hey Mak, how's it goin up there? Make it without any problems?

 

i finally get to USE the t/a with these WV mountain roads...my suspension upgrades really helped....ill have to grab some mountain view shots with the t/a .... aside from that no other 3rd gens aound my area

 

Here are some pics I am sharing,its finally here at home

 

^some nice city shots....always love the gold combos

 

A little off topic, but it looks like I will no longer be able to contribute to this thread after this week. The bird is going to a new home. I'm trading her in on an '05 Grand Prix GXP. I don't want to, but the transmission in my GTP **** the bed, and its way up there in miles, so I made the decision to get rid of both cars and get something more practical. You know, by practical I mean a V8 GP haha. That in turn, will be collateral for the GTO I plan on getting in a year or two.

Anyways, I had a lot of fun in my thirdgen, but like mother birds, it's time to let her loose in the wild. I'm gonna stick around, and I have a feeling I'll be in another thirdgen in no time.
I posted here just so CB and Maks would know... I feel like we have alot in common with these cars.

 

^Orinackra, sad hear man but u gotta do what u gotta do....although your bird was comin out nicely....sad to see it gone...however smart choice on another pontiac!!! Good luck with it and post a pic when u have a clean shot of it .... oh and in common definately with good taste lol

 

Thats unfortunate. As Mak said though, gotta do what you gotta do. Stick around the boards, keep us updated. Your input on our rides is always appreciated. Oh and uh...got any extra parts? Or maybe some aftermarket parts on the bird that could be removed before trading it in?? It didn't hurt me to ask.

 

Thanks guys. I feel like this is a family, and I'm giving up one of my kids for adoption! I will definitely check the boards as much as I do now.

Oh you better believe I kept a few items. My billet shift ****, center caps, hood grills, led third brake light. A friend of mine ALMOST had another set of wheels for me, I would have swapped and kept the WS6 wheels.
There's even more in the garage. I'm selling my UMI subframes to a local guy tomorrow. But I make this vow now, I WILL be in another thirdgen one day. Actually I plan on keeping tabs on my bird.... in a few months I'm gonna fix and sell my GTP and go hunting for it.. maybe I can buy it back!

But yeah, the GXP is a really nice car, and it has an LSx! (LS4)

 

Here we go, i got some more of it recently. tell me what you think!!

 

that's me and my T/A while it was still in U.S.



and this is here in Italy

 

I miss Las Vegas so much!!!

 

90t/aguy, sweet GTA!!! where u in PA???

Pippo, always nice to see euro birds in good condition

 

north eastern

 

I love the sights gained here in the U.S. that can be taken with our cars...but...I miss the european shots that i've been to that could have been taken. I lived in Germany from 92' until 97' if only I had my car there.

 

looks good..but do the middle part..just mask off the bird..take time on it tho
mine

 

Mikey, thanks for the input. I may try that on an extra center piece just to see how it turns out. Yours came out looking rough/not shiny. Try wetsanding with 1000 or 1500grit and then buffing. It makes it look a lot better.

 

 

^sandie, any plans for the formy??? Lots of nice formies on this site to grab some ideas

Yea Mikey either do what CB said or you can try some wax to polish it out every so often (quick fix) just so you dont mess up ur job...either way, i like...especially the smoked corners

 

My buddies 86ish bird. We did DragWeek in 2007. Drove 1200 miles in one week raced at 5 tracks and he one his class. Best of 8.19 @ 171

 

^USM, F-ING SICK .... have a new wallpaper ... and dont see too many purple birds

 

they're more shiny in person but yeah im gonna sand em and put another coat of VHT and ALOT more clear//i want em just dark enough to where you cant see the red or white during the day when im not on the brakes...

 

my new 89 formula all stock 305 tbi auto clean car.

 

Took this today at the last Pontiac dealer in Vegas while I still had a chance to. Pontiac is officially dead as of 10/31. Pontiac dealerships contracts with GM ended sunday, now all remaining Pontiacs are considered used. RIP Pontiac.

 

^did not know that (nice shot btw)

400hp clean bird!!!

 

Yeah it sucks! here is the back shot if you want to see it, RIP pontiac!

 

Havent posted any new ones in a while so thought i would grab a crappy phone pic of the bird in its new home in WV mountains...now with both headlights workin!!! (Thanks Charcoal)

 

Awesome job man! Look great!

 

Some pics (from the ad) of my newly purchased 84 recaro 350

 

the color and interiour "pimpage" is horrible, but I have big plans for this one

 

^Wow clean 84!!! and congrats on sweet purchase!!!

Bigbad, thanks, finally nice not having to pop my hood past 6pm to flip up lights lol

 

Car is looking good Mak. It's definitely nice not to have to pop the hood to raise/lower the lights. After so long of doing it, I had to fix them. Yours was an easy fix too.

 

you know Maks, WV isn't that far from Pittsburgh

 

Thanks! Really happy to have a recaro again. Just need to fix the problems with it and next season should be the best one so far

 

I know what i understand from fairmont,wv its about 2 hrs.....u end up selling those ttops and subframe connectors??? Also, we may have to talk about a pontiac meet hmmmmmmm

Charcoal, seriously something so simple as a fried headlight control module, if i hadnt check that i would have probably gutted another headlight motor... ... atleast i learned how use rubber hose line to rebuild em

recaro, doubt those problems should slow u down and not have fun with it...

 

Rubber hose huh? I used glue sticks for hot glue guns. Still good after 6 years.

 

subframes yes t-tops no. I didn't think you'd be interested in the tops, they definitely aren't in perfect shape.

 

Did not know this!! That's insane!

 

Didn't know you had subframes for sale. What set did you have?

 

I had the UMI's. And honestly, I might as well have just given them away. I wish I hadn't sold them.

This car needs to go before i decide to start modding it again.

 

ok...yea now that i thought about it i need to look at subframe connectors....

RIP pontiac x2
