Default 2001 grand prix gtp limited edition

So about 3 weeks ago I was at the junkyard and came across a 2001 gtp with a functional hood. So I bought it! I couldn't resist a good deal $48.00. I was going to sell it, but then i seen some nice looking gtp's with that hood online. So yesterday I went on online and found a 2001 gtp special edition with 46000 miles 1 owner at the dealership it was originally purchased at with all service records. It was a 160 mile drive so I called first and tried to haggle over the phone when it was priced at 7900. My wife being an ex- car sales women said let me talk to him. Next thing I know she says he will call back the always do. 4 hours later no call so I called........SOLD!! So disappointed it was such a nice looking car great condition like new. When we got home from paying some bill I had to go outside and take it out on the weeds in the flower beds. Anyways the hood is now sitting on the monte while I wait for a wire harness for the swap from a 3.4 to 3.8 SC. Here are some pics. DON'T LET THE WIFE NEGOTIATE.

Wow that sucks dude. Cool hood though. Nothing like some yard work to get some stress relief.

I got the engine sitting in the compartment. I'm waiting on a wiring harness from morad since the 2 extras that I have don't work I have a harness from a 98 gtp and a 2000 grand prix gt but they don't connect to the anti-lock brake so I order a harness from an 04 monte intimidator hopefully this one works I'm about $450 into wiring harnesses. Feel free to pm me with any questions. I have ran into more problems with the swap then expected. I think I'm almost done.
