    Hey guys, names Richie. Figured I'd introduce myself.

    I'm from Sioux Falls, SD. I'm 22 years old and am currently working on getting my fifth generation '95 Grand Prix SE back to looking like a pretty car again. Now I thought about posting a picture of it..... but its not in the greatest shape and I still need quite a few parts for it. Also hopefully I will be able to get it painted once I find those parts. Ever since Pontiac went under I've had one hell of a time finding the parts I need. The few parts I've been able to find to keep my car running at now 216k miles I've been able to find at "Ewe-Pullet" a facility in my home town where you literally pull your own parts which allows them to sell the parts for much cheaper than buying them from any other auto part facility.

    I am going to school currently for Auto Body Collision Repair Technology and graduate in May of next year. So most of the repairs on my car i have been doing myself.

    ... I really suck at introducing myself so this is about all I've got but there ya go. If anyone can help me with finding parts I would greatly appreciate it. I'm slowly running out of places to look and have been trying to hold onto this car as long as I can (despite my fiancee begging me to scrap it lol) so any advice will help. Anyways that's all I've got so there ya go.

    Richie (Spaz) Lindstrom

    Hi, and welcome.

    There is a link here somewhere to an online parts finder.
    You put in the City, and what parts your looking for, and it gives u a list starting with the closest first, ill look and see if i can find.
