Mamonte - Good luck with the house!
Augi - I like the second and third pics you posted best! The car is well stages and the angle you took the pics look nice!!
As for me, busy weekend.

Item #1 - I am working on fixing my mom's '97 Grand Prix that she no longer drives (step-dad got her a new-er car). A friend of mine will more then likely be buying the Grand Prix. Started with broken coolant elbow, to needing a new tensioner bracket (the aluminum elbow was also busted), got the bracket from the junk yard for $20. Now it appears the intake gaskets are bad too.
While at the junk yard, I scored a full set of L67 coil packs for $15 (as I understand from some guys on the Bonneville forums, these produce slightly hotter spark and provide for a little better throttle response). I do know, they are NOT the same packs (based on part number) as those on the L36. So, this is another goodie for the Monte.

Item #2 - Helped a friend replace an ABS sensor the front of his GMC Seirra. Turned into a wheel hub replacement. The probe to the sensor was busted in the hub, so we pulled the hub (this was planned) and tried to remove the probe, no luck and the hub made a strange noise when spinning. This all turned out for the better. We learned buying a new hub comes with the ABS sensor (sensor by itself, with a discount he got was $130, the hub with sensor, out the door for $128, hmmm, good to know for the future).

Item #3 - Finally, after months of working on it (power window, power steering rack replacement and then leaking fuel/brake line issues), my wife's '94 Grand Am (aka, her winter beater) is back in action again!! Luckily, it went out of service when we pulled her Mustang out for the summer and as I had time here and there, I worked on it (when I got to the line leaks, I had to recruit help that had very limitted availability). Man, that made MY day having it done! I have to check all the tire pressures on it (drives like it's a little low from sitting) and give it a fresh oil change, BUT IT DRIVES (we drove it out to dinner Sunday with NO problems). Probably the BEST thing in my whole weekend!!

 

Okay, I posted the finished pictures on my thread regarding my bumper. I can't believe how well it turned out. If you want to avoid the entire thread, just go to page two and you can avoid the build pictures. It was a LOT of work to make sure that it turned out right. I hope everyone is having as good of a day as I am.

 

Hey everyone!

Mike, like the new rims on the Gordon edition. Any luck on the center caps? Nice pics you got of the Monte. Seeing the 5th/7th gen "MONTE CARLO" font on the windshield took me off guard for a second. Took a look at some of the other pics too. That Mustang sure is hot! LOL.

 

Awesome pictures Amy. Loved `em.

 

Glad you liked em Lou!

 

Evening all. Just in the wait mode for my grandfather to leave for a better place. Nurse says anytime now. I am hoping it is quick and easy for him because I know my grandma is waiting ont the other side.

Michael that is awesome you are looking to buy a house. Make sure it is on the ocean so we can all come over and space will teach us to surf.

 

Yeah i like em too i think they give it a more agressive look & ive nvr seen a monte with 03-04 cobra rims, & yeah that happend at the last midnight madness was crazy to see

 

Thanks everyone for the good luck! I will keep everyone posted as I decide/ figure more things out. I think it will be a few months before I actually take the plung and buy. But i'm at least getting the ball rolling.

I wish I would buy at the ocean...but yea, that is not in the budget. LOL :P

 

Those do look good man...I was wondering if you could take some pics from further away to show how they look from behind...also what size tires are on there? But looks good for sure.
