last wednesday i decided to pull off route 209 and take a coupla new pics of the monte in front of the local abandond gulf station. they clearly show some of the 'lil personalazation mods i've made, and they have a backround thats not my house let me know what ya'll think

 

looks good Ryan =D

 

Looking better and better each time

 

She looks like a clean slate just waiting for more customization.

 

She's ready for a 3.8

 

ready for a RWD LT1, lol, but i doubt that'll happen

i think my trans is starting to act up, which im not too suprised about because the car has 154k on it and i doubt its ever been rebuilt. when it goes, i figure i'll eather do a used 3.4 & trans combo ( more than likely from my dad's car) or if i can find the 3.8 with a good trans for a reasonable price i might go that route. and eventually imma find a brickyard spoiler for it too gotta be my fav 5th gen spoiler

 

Looks kind of clean! lol

thanks space, rick, 'an everyone else

rick, that is a cool find, but if i do that swap imma need the trans attached, update everything in one shot. luckally, i know at least 2 local junkyards who can help me on that one one i visited shortly after christmas has TONS of 3.8 cars in their yard, the other we "know people" at, my dad's good friends with the owners and they usually get me GREAT deals on stuff if they have it

i figure my next thing to do is mabe fab up some kind of ram-air setup using the stock airbox ( i can get one from ANOTHER junkyard for about $5 that i can disect). i figure i can lop out the bottem and run an intake tube down somewhere in the corner of the lower front bumper, and use a K&N drop in filter with it. the car has alot more power when its cold, so i figure it might like to have a constant supply of cold air rammed into it, lol
