Just got some bad news,

**Rexer** · 02-01-2012

Car under body is roting away. Can't even lift it on a hoist, ever got tires off the ground when it started making noise. Body crushing under weight of car. To bad it runs really good 1997 GTP coupe. What are these things worth for parting out?

About $600

just drive it till it falls apart that's what i'm doing

Problem is it may not pass a MI safety inspection if they are that picky. If not, then maybe swap it into a new chassis?

MI as in Michigan.... If so your in luck... No inspection in Michigan

They have those in Michigan? I've never heard of cars getting inspected. Are you talking about dealers?

you CAN swap it into a new chassis if you want, youll either need another 97 or get a 98-03 car and swap the wiring harness

Don't dare to, brake lines leaking. I'm not putting anymore more or time into it. I just bought two new front hubs. That's what I was trying to do when I was using the hoist. It's a same to; it runs really good. It's my girlfriends car. I drive it more then see did. She bought it new. Her ex-husband never maintained. I don't want the hassel of swapping everything over. Then find a car in Michigan that doesn't have rust or someone wanting more then it's worth. No thanks....

Regals don't rust as fast as GP's.

**Wotgtp** · 02-02-2012

Abandon ship captain, just find another one and maybe part the crusty one out. Then have a junkyard tow the rest for free?

**Rexer** · 02-02-2012

It drives good yet, now I don't trust it not to kill me if I hit a dog. Igorance is bliss. Didn't bother me before I know the extant of the damage. Now I want it gone....

**Grimsin** · 02-02-2012

15 years thats not to bad, i hope to keep my car 15-20 years(from it manufacturing date).It isnt impossible to find a grand prix,regal,impala etc etc trans or engine(or both) in it blownup but body/underbody still good for cheap. then swap your stuff into it.
just a thought.

**00GT** · 02-02-2012

Yeah Michigan doesnt have inspections.

**Iceman6669** · 02-02-2012

Well OP if you decide to part it out let me know... You are not that far from me...

My brake lines rusted out and i just replaced the bad ones. Lines are cheap and fairly easy to replace. Mine blew out when it was pouring outside so i had to lay under a wet car getting soaked to change them out.
