So had an 05 GTP given to me but didnt pick it up quick enough so he let someone else drag it away. So yr+ later an 04 with mysterious engine noise. IE rod know i believe. So now i have to get it home, thinking of driving as old owner drove to buddys home (buddy does work for dealer who took it in on trade) So $300 later and I own it. Now back to more short block research. Since i build engines may just overhaul it. Car has 192k on it so ill start looking for 4t80e maybe 17or 18 in wheels. The car is more to get me into newer car yr wise, mom gave me 94 olds 98 for Christmas.
So after its home I will buff out the headlights for now, look for console lid, and either seats or replacement seat covers.
But hey I paid $300 & it has new cv axle in trunk. And not sure which side its for. And I do have new rear wheel bearings, got them free for my 98 Regal but they are same so I can replace 1/2 the wheel bearings for time only. Odd thing its similar color, the metallic tan/gold color code 929l. By code list has FE2 FE9 AND IS L26 ENGINE. Any other unique code I need to decode?
So I am back scrounging parts, my new boss does have enfine with similar issues from 2000 Impala. May see what i can pick that up for then do some oiling upgrades and freshen and blueprint it.
Time will tell what I will modify.
