Thread: $500 beater

hey guys, picked up this GA about 2 months ago, got it for $500. it needed a catalytic converter. replaced it and it runs like a champ.

ive done a custom intake, tinted tails, took off the peeling hub caps and the idi cover. also reconditioned the dash.

WHAT you think!?









i love it so far! great for a beater car, if i do say so.

col! you just go find a set of of the Grand AM GT propeller wheels that would look cool!

those 2.4s run good...to bad it's not a 5 speed, like the one i had

well its hard to make a ugly car look good, but your doing a good job with it! dash looks real good also

thanks

i like that year. Its the baby gp

2.4 dohc = 1 of the worst motors ever designed

From what I remember messing around with those motors get ready to replace many motor mounts and a head gasket or two... Nice price though on a pretty good looking car. See if you can't snag a trunklid with a spoiler and some alloys from a junkyard to make it look real good...

What he said... Not to mention one of the dumbest ignition designs i've ever seen

not bad for a beater, interior looks really clean

eh i love my womans twin cam, 3 years of not touching a thing but oil on it...

the biggest issues come if you let the oil get bellow half full....im sure 01GTP could chime in, he has 2 of them as well.

might see how cheap he would sell his spoilered trunk.

put some hubcaps on that thing.

when they get painted i will, they are all sorts of colors right now, and 1 is being repaired.

Get a Econo paintjob!

hub caps painted and back on

nice steal, now film it as it goes over a cliff

runs better than the 3 GP's ive had so naw lol

^^^disappointing

Not bad for 500 bones.
