    Really haven't even given it a name yet (Edit: Kinda been calling it Grumpy lately. It can be.. temperamental.) CL find from Midwestern Minnesota. This was the last car to look at after a two week search. I'd looked at an 04 comp g in the area, but it was in pretty rough shape. This one has 133k on it now. Haven't done much. Changed supercharger oil, old looked like coffee. Put synthetic in and run 91 non-oxy. Fixed the HUD and gutted the airbox.





    Went and bought rubber right away. 235's are waiting for rims, and you can see they look cartoonish on the stockers. American Racing's may be goin on eventually. Biggest thing planned is getting new paint, but that'll be after we get a house. Going to put headers on first. I'll be refreshing the brakes (chose powerstop calipers and R1 eline rotors) and suspension, but nothing fancy.







    I tried to show some of the paint and rim damage on it. Don't quite think the guy knew what he had and got away with it fairly priced. There was a bunch of dealer records inside. Looks very well taken care of; Guy paid nearly a grand changing 4 tires and 2 wiper blades back in 2010. No record on LIMs unfortunately. I've found inconclusive answers on when exactly GM reformulated dexcool without the organic acid, but it'll be flushed anyway.

    There's some dealer options. The spoiler, grilles, and exhaust tips are GM parts. The paint's interesting (read expensive). Blue Green Crystal by Pontiac came on a few other GM's under different names. Definitely wouldn't mind making the front end look a little beefier. I'm still hopeful to get an SE front lip.





    Thanks!
