    Need some advice. Yesterday, I found a project car, 97 GP GT. Just thinking out loud here and if it sounds stupid then let me know, like that would be an issue with this bunch. I would like to start a thread for suggestions on mods and enhancements. Not as much how to do them, there are lots of those, but more on planning what to do. Where should I start this thread, what should the title be, and should I even try? It's is hard for me to mod a car I have to depend on as a daily driver. Now if I play with some pcm reprogramming and burn a hole in a piston, I am not walking to work. Remember it's 100 miles round trip. I guess I would be in shape.

    Once the thread is started, I will post pictures and we can start a plan on what to do. I can not afford a show car and if I could I am not sure 97 GP would be a good choice. I got the car cheap and will make a great test bed for experimentation that a person might not want to try on a daily driver. I will set the parameters of the build in the thread, but I don't have a lot of money and I have one more semester to finish a degree. I know college at 53, it has nothing to do with making more money, it will not matter in my job, but it is kind of a bucket list thing. So after this summer time will be an issue. I do have a garage, but I do not want to leave the Mustang or GXP out over night. It's been over 5 years since the Mustang has even seen a drop of rain.

    So what do you all think? First need start a new thread so this one is not hijacked.

    Some of my thoughts for title.
    "how to project a project car"
    "From trailer to driving to modding"
    Now you see why I need help. And Marine, not that kind of help or maybe?

    There's the member rides section, that's where I'd make the thread. And as far as advice, just give us the end goals an we can try and give you some guidance to get there. I've got a little experience modding the 3800 lol. I can't tell you how many engines and transmissions I've pulled or swapped on these things. I got to the point on my 98(in my sig) where there wasn't much left to mod aside from a $3k built trans, and I just couldn't justify that in any way shape or form on a FWD platform. So I sold out...
    SOLD-98 4dr GTP, l32 Swapped, IS2 heads, IS3 cam, S2 intercooler, S3 FMHE, E85, 65# inj, N* TB w/LQ4, OBX Headers, Borla catback, 3.0 zzp mps, lc-1 wideband, HP Tuners, PRJ wires, FWI, Lowered. 04 GTO M6, 07 Grand Prix LS4 powered GXP. 98 V6 GMC SWB, exhaust, custom intake. 09 HHR (Wifes)

    What do you mean some guidance, as close as you are there might be some physical help invloved. :-)
    How long does it take to get to Mustang? Well I guess after further review maybe not :-) Not sure if the budget can stand too many Ken's Steak House Dinners. :-)
