Default Goth's Update

Well guys i have come to the point of selling the 98 monte carlo. I really hate to stop the progress but it has came down to needing a running car. Perhaps i may come across one down the road (in better shape.) What it came down to was 3000+ to fix frame damage, or 2300 for a new car. So here is my new car, and i am really enjoying the monte carlo sister.

1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

After^

Good luck with the 97 and be careful with the mods. A lot of them are for 98+

What exactly do you mean by this? Most of the mods are similar aside from the trans being different, all the of the suspension should be the same along with most of the engine parts? Other than that the body is the same, still a Gen II w-body.

Nice car. My Dad had a black 00 Grand Prix GT for a few years as a lease. I did a good amount of my learning how to drive in that car.
