    I just traded my truck in and got this GP a week ago and I haven't got the money yet to do the things I want I figured I would get started here and get some ideas and opinions and keep track when I finally do start. The only thing done so far is a new thermostat gasket when I bought the car the told me that it was a valve cover gasket I dont know they just payed no attention or what but but it was easy to tell it was leaking coolant not oil so i originally thought was that it was the intake manifold but once I cleaned the engine today was able to see it was just the gasket so saved some money new brakes and oil change will be next along with some new head lights. And of course a nice wash and wax once the weather gets warmer.

    Took some new pics replacing the down stream 02 Sensor this Friday Hopefully and then need some help my fuel gauge stopped working and I was wondering if with these cares if I have to replace the fuel pump or if I can just replace the part that is bad? any help is appreciated also going to get some new head lights and tail lights soon. I am also thinking of upgrading the suspension I cant really lower it I already scrape pulling into work but I want better handling up in the mountains.

    +1 for a white sedan


    I think window tint would make an absolute world of difference.

    Tint will be coming this summer hopefully along with a new windshield. It is a tight fit but it clears the garage door. I also put in the new O2 sensor and no more service engine light so today was a good day also looking for new tires now.

    Looks identical to my wife's car, it's also an 02.

    This was a eventful weekend for the grand prix I replaced the lower radiator hose and then realized that I had a bad water pump so went ahead and replaced that along with a new belt. I also did something that most people are going to hate but I think it came out great I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

    Search in the how toos for fixing your fuel gauge issue I think there is a write up or watch this for an idea, its pretty easy from what I hear.

    Its a general video but his stuff really helps me out.

    I looked it up and I can do it I was hopping that mine had the trunk access but it doesn't so when I get the new sending unit looks like I will be dropping the tank.
