Thread: My build. 01 gtp

Im new here so I'll be adding lots to this thread over the years, the cars not going anywhere so I assure you all you will see great things.

Bought the car in 2011

Here it is on stands before I started on it


Here it is as I brought it home, the previous owner loved putting on **** from autozone, eBay and whatever other 10 dollar mods were possible. Clearly not my thing.

Well it's still in the middle of the build and I'm ironing all the kinks out, although I have a stupid clean chassis the previous owner was fast and furious so I had to fix a bunch before I can put my mods on.

It had wiring issues galore, so I got a new harness for the engine and I own the wiring for the dash and interior as well that I still "need" to swap out, to make me happy. I can't even begin with all the issues I fixed. But I took away the home made grills for stockers. I got rid of the projectors and all of that non sense. I ditched the rims for a set of stockers. I could go on and on, this kid wanted to be Paul walker. Lol.

Here it is as of now:


Currently has:
08 bottom end,
l67 heads
Roller rockers
Custom cam
Double roller timing chain
Ported lower intake
Ported manifolds (temporary)
3.0 pulley
Zzp computer
Pfyc hood
Gen 1 spoiler
Professionally tinted tails
Removed badges
5% tint (taking it off for 20% soon)
Arc Audio components all around
Infinity amp
Stock receiver modded for aux input and woofer output (I'm not satisfied I'm going after market)
flow master mufflers (I hate this setup)
Aluminum sub frame
Drilled/slotted rotors
F body brake conversion
Braided brake lines
8k hids
Kyb struts
Eibach springs
I'm sure im missing a lot, I'll try to think of more later








Pics don't really do it justice.....But then again I know most of you guys like the over the top look lol...


Here's some rocker pics, you all know how these things are. They would be perfect if the jackass before me knew how to lift a car properly






And randoms







Much more to come, I have the following ready for install, I'm just unsure of which route I'm gonna take with this car (turbo or s/c) I have:

Tog LT's
Custom intake
Another cam
Borla cat back
Bonneville gxp rims
Roof rails
A new dash (mine has a minor crack)
Nitrous (100 wet shot)

And I'm sure I'm missing a few things....I have a lot of parts around here some to cars I haven't had in years


More to come as it comes along! And I'll add pics of the build up later on when I get access to my computer.

Thanks for looking!

Car looks good, I say go supercharged route unless you want alot of power

Yeah more pictures, I'd like to follow this thread.

Looks clean, how many sets of rims do you have for that thing? I count three including the GXPs that are gonna look sick on it (No bias here...) looking forward to watching the thread.

That's one nice topaz gold metallic ride you have. Hey do you still have those GPO's?

I think that color looks like ****, but you have actually pulled it off well. Clean ride!

Looks good. IMO I like the more stock look that you've gone after.

On your comment about not adding, your posting style may rub some folks the wrong way. I'm sure they'll come around. Relax, post away and leave the "why you don't love me" type comments out and soon you'll see plenty of input etc.

Nice work, I agree with Bill keep the car clean and simple. Its hard to keep that color looking nice once you add too much to it.

Must I whore some more!! Do it and we can all drool!

But whatever works mang

My bad, took a second look. I thought you had GPO grill inserts, but it looks like the inside part of the nose / grill area is painted. As for color of the car, I was told by a member on here that it was Topaz Gold Metallic. It don't matter though, whatever works. Clean ride you have either way.

Lol you bought Josh's car. That car used to have quite a few motor mods at one point, then he demodded. He always does that, mods the hell out of a car, then demods and sell, I believe he is on like his 5th W-body.
