Thread: The new project. Let's do this one right ;)

Just a couple pictures of the new body before we get started on her tomorrow. Like I said 80k one owner car obviously not driven much so extremely clean rust wise but also obviously left outside much of it's life since the paint on the passenger rear quarter is baked. Might see if my guy can blend in new paint in the problem area worst case I respray the same color since I'm really digging the blue. I live in mn guys and I have not seen rockers this clean ever! Even the side skirt brackets are clean and fully intact. This car will have my current setup in it on e85 but I'm going to leave the gt badges on and keep the body stock, I think that will be quite the surprise to anyone who thinks they are about to handle a stock gt

What size tires are on the ssei rims? I've been searching for ages to find a picture of them on a Grand Prix. I've had a set I found in a you pull for a year sitting in my basement. I'm torn over powder coating them bronze or leaving silver.

235 55 17. Although once it's time to replace these I'm going to go with something with a little less sidewall.

Btw guys, we haven't started yet due to alot of business coming through the shop this week. I did order some more stuff though powerstop brakes rotors, calipers and pads. I'm also going to be pulling the trigger on zzp coilovers.

Thanks! I was torn between sizes and think I'm going to go down on the sidewall as well. The 235 55 17's have a lot of meat!

On steep driveways they rub hard, I do run 1inch hubcentiric spacers because the offset of the Bonneville wheels makes the gp look like a hovercraft.
