Soon after that, about 1000 miles after i got the car (161k total) I decided it was time to do valve cover gaskets, lower intake gaskets, and aluminum coolant elbows. Wellllll long story short, I had a nice fire in the engine compartment and it wouldnt shift. so i towed it up to the shop i work at and fixed that. Approximately one week later, i got a rod knockSo i got a crate engine
off to a good start
^^ under the car on the hoist after engine came out. Rebuilt trans!!!
^^ old nasty engine
^^ pretty new engine!!
all installed! a days work![]()
Got this right before engine went^^ along with the borla exhaust i installed ten minutes before the engine started knocking
Pretty slick
Got some 5k 55 watt hids from ddmtuning , led reverse lights, and i was cheep and bought led fog lights b/c i didnt have money for the metal fog housings.
Plasti dip time
![]()
Then my buddy ( who does not have a grand prix) told me he had a 40th trunk lid that was on a car for only a year thats been sitting in his garage for years. sold it to me for 40$ score!!
Plasti dip was going to be temporary but turned into a huge fail. had the glossifier and all!
so i just put it on...

And in the wise words of forrest gump, thats all i have to say about that! For now atleast....

Could have just taken the spoiler off and put it on your original trunk lid. Nice work though. Crate engine looks nice!
thanks! considered changing out the spoiler and just doing it black but i have rust under the stock spoiler
Thanks, I think I know this car too well inside and out haha. I've had it apart more times than I can count.
Damn. Want to make 200 bucks on that spoiler?
Nice looking car. You put a ton of work into it. I just picked up a red GP not that long ago.
I just moved out of Eastpointe after living there for a long time.
Thanks! And ill think about the spoiler. I am planning on getting a new gp shortly so if I do Ill let you know about the trunk. Ive probably seen you around! ive seen quite a few red gtp's around lately
Yeah, im right down ten mile from there i think. Raven. first light before the i94 bridge
