    Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I've been on the forums, a long while actually. I've forgotten websites and passwords to most sites, somehow I remembered this one. I never really posted much on this site, mostly on ClubGP and GOClubGP (which was in the process of being deactivated when I slowed down my time on the forums and led to me stopping all together). Trying to retrieve my Club GP password now, but it was linked to my old AOL account which I don't remember the password or security question for, great.

    A little about myself for those that don't know, I got my first GP GT when I was in HS, it was a red 2dr, didn't have any mods except for some new exhaust tips. I had that for a couple years until my dad and I saw a beautiful 40th Anniversary GT coupe sitting in the dealer lot. I got the 40th in 2007 and since then have only driven in the summer months and no rain except for a few times getting caught coming back from shows. For the first few years I made lots of appearance mods, and going to a lot of shows. I placed top 100 at the HUGE Lordstown GM show, which was one of my proudest moments. A few years ago I lost a lot of interest for the show scene and a lot in my car actually, I started getting heavy into collecting sports memorabilia and playing golf (LOL), the car got about 25 miles a summer for the last 3-4 years. I just bought my first house and decided it's time to bring the car out of retirement and put some miles on her. I had always dreamed of it becoming a $20K collector car, but that will probably never happen.

    Hoping you guys can help me out pointing me in the direction of some still active forums and what sites are still in business selling parts for the 97-03 GP. Is Morad still kicking and dealing with W body stuff? Last I looked, been a year or so it was mostly Cobalts and stuff like that.

    Plans for this summer are to make sure brakes and everything else are in good driving condition and to get a good deep clean and polish going on under the hood and exterior. Once that is done I will get her back n the road and start fixing the little issues I created when I was young and dumb. Would like to add a few bolt ons to gain some HP or may just do a swap.

    Here's an old picture some of you might remember....


    And here's the last good picture I took, this is also still the current look minus the dust and crappy chrome pitting on the TSW's...

    Morad still sells w-body parts off used cars if you need things, better to directly contact the company for your needs.

    Most aftermarket parts for regular engine/suspension related items have come along way in the years and do a fine job for most repairs.
