tkennedy88's 01 Bronzemist Grandprix GT

**tkennedy88** · 07-10-2011

Here are some pics of my new ride. Its an 01 grand prix gt with about 117000 on the clock. When I got the car, it was rough. The windows didn't work, ignition wouldn't got to the lock position, oil pan leak, bad wires and plugs, and have had a lot of fun getting to know this car and think its turned out really nice.

Here are all the things done to get it up to snuff:

Window regulator- driver/passenger
Spark plugs / wires
oil change
Seafoam
lock cylinder
ignition switch
air filter
wash
polish
wax
debadge

Things left to do:

fuel filter
coolant flush
transmission fluid/filter change
exhaust
LIM / UIM gasket change (any directions on how to do this and where to get an aluminum intake would be great)

Any way without further a do here are some pics:

I wish my body was still clean like yours. Looks good, needs some tint and some lower.

**tkennedy88** · 07-11-2011

Thanks, I got a quote for tint, but think I may take it to a buddy of mine and see if he'll do it.as for the lower, I can barely make it out of my driveway without scrapping now, so I don't think im going to do that.

for the new LIM aluminum gasket, you can get that at auto zone or similar places.

lookin good!

**tkennedy88** · 07-12-2011

thanks for the information I was wondering where I could get an aluminum intake to replaced the plastic one I have.

Use the search button and type in "lower intake gasket" and you will get multiple threads with info on how to get it accomplished. very simple with basic tools.

BTW on the "MS98014T Aluminum Lower Intake" make sure you get the one with the T on the end... no T is the plastic ones

thanks guys for all the great information.

**tkennedy88** · 11-02-2011

Well have racked up about 10000 miles in about 4 months. Thought I would share some picks of the car after I waxed it. Got to use my orbital buffer for the first time and it came out really good.

Wish I could find one in my color. Thought about making my own, but my fiberglass and shaping skills aren't what they used to be.
