New 97 Owner

**GaBear** · 12-11-2008

I had a 97 Grand Prix Donated to me by my Lovely Daughter. Its a GT model with a blown-Up 3.8 liter. I've purchased another 3.8 Engine from a junk yard and plan on working on the car in my spare time. After looking under the car I noticed the exhaust system was in bad shape and purchased a complete Cat back Magna-Flow system from Hot-exhaust.com. Who ever owned the car before my Daughter had made some alterations to the car. Most notible is a K&N cool air intake and some guages on the door pillar. I don't have a lot of money to invest in this car but any info on what I need to look out for that can help me avoid more cost would be greatly appreciated.

Not too far from me. Maybe about 45 minutes. Join the GA W-body club in the local chapters section. We're going to try and do a GA meet once the weather starts to get better. Ever make into Athens any?

I go to Athens every now and then. My daughter and her Husband live in Maysville. He is helping me with the restoration on the GPGT.
