Re: 97 GTP Coupe White on White "new 40th anniversary parts!"
That's a steal. I paid twice as much as that for mine and it has rust on the rockers but it isn't showing.....yet. I just hope to get my money back out of it if I do sell it. You made the right decision, especially for that price. When I was looking for a grand prix, I would search craigslist everyday, then find one and go look at it and it would be a pile of junk. I even looked at an SE. It had over 200,000 miles and they wanted $3,000 for it. I don't know why but they are very hard to find in good shape. Yours looks like it's in great shape. For that price, I would have ended up with a car with a bad motor/high miles/beater. lol.

what is the button for on your gear shifter? i dont have one on my 02 GTP.

Re: 97 GTP Coupe White on White "new 40th anniversary parts!"
I thought that button was traction control? I don't have one but I have seen those buttons on sunfires and it controlled the tc. There is a tc button in the info center tho.
Yea it is a performance shift

Im about 15-20 hours into mine if I had to guess. I went up to 400 grit wet sanding then used brown and white poslishing compound on a buffing wheel and it looked amazing after that. Im gonna go back over with 600, 1000, 2000 grit wetsand then hit it again with the buffin wheel.
This picture dosent really do it justice as it is from my cell phone lol

yea it wasn't in to bad of shape needed a bit of body work but that's no big deal to me and i got the whole car repainted. the first pic in my ride page is what it looked like from the begging but no rust or anything really i got it with 116k miles on it.

demel and hand sanding its a lot of work im still on 80 grit, i pretty much have all the casting knocked off so its almost all smooth after im done with 80 it should start to get eiser, because i moved up to 120 in one spot and i could see it was getting easier IMO
