    Hey guys, new here and have been lurking around for awhile.

    A little background about myself, I have always owned trucks but recently picked up this GT to play with, I had sold my '94 2WD that was my baby and toy to sink most of the money back into my newly acquired Restored '78 K20

    So in other words I needed a car as a daily beater, I ended up buying the GP because of it being a coupe and being a Pontiac, the styling reminds me a lot of my '70 LeMans Sport

    Anyways, here she is, 1998 GT Coupe

    Current mods
    -Slotted/cross drilled front brakes and red calipers
    -base DIC to digital
    -front valve cover gasket
    -2003 cupholders
    -dorman front swaybar
    -front hubs
    -replaced bunch of lightbulbs
    -polished tips
    -dogbone bushing flip

    I gotta say I love this car, I realize its only NA and not the SC version, but man is it torquey! Perfect for a beater!!

    Anyways onto the pics!!

    First day

    Brakes and swaybar install


    Valve cover gasket installed

    Polished tips

    Engine bay all cleaned up

    DIC installed

    Car at my bow hunting spot lol


    Looking forward to doing more to this car!!

    Installed a Sony head unit and a PAC SWI-RC module for steering wheel controls, also modded a flush mount for a truck to work in the GP! Came out nice!

    Got some tails from the wreckers to replace mine that are filled with water, not in best shape but they are whole lot better!
