We have a '97 Grand Prix that was first owned by my Mom, who didn't really take care of the car. It's been unofficially passed down to myself.

I thought of it as any other car until one night out with some friends I floored it, and the V6 roared in my ears. I thought to myself, "Oh?" It was then I realized that this car deserves some attention.

Everything is stock, it has about 125 thousand on it, which leaves some room still. After lurking around the forum for a few days now I think it's time I get started. I'm starting some funds and plan on investing in my baby.

I took some pictures today of the body. I was wondering based on the pictures if anyone could tell me if I should be nervous...or more so should my wallet be nervous?








I'm looking to get the rust taken care of as best as I can, I'd also like to get it painted a metallic blue that I've seen on the board somewhere. That's I imagine the first priority I should look into taking care of before going onto projectors or anything.

Any educated guesses onto what this might run me?
