New member on what appears to be a longsinceforgotten gold mine.
anywho.
Here is my new monte. She has 157k and was basically all factory when I got her.
Only mods I have had the pleasure to afford yet wasn't cheap by any means but... she got new glasses and butt lights.
I've replaced the front sway bar, fuel pump, thermostat housing, and im waiting on the rest of the front end kit in the mail. These are her first photos..

This was the very first photo I took of her... before even washing and waxing.

Her new glasses. Her old ones were severely oxidized and had begun to separate at the seal between the housing and the lens, thus filling with water and steaming the bulbs. I had to correct the issue before it became a ticket for a moving violation. Ordered from Amazon.

Her new tail lights. Not going to lie... i absolutely love the way these LEDs look during the day and at night. They are very bright too. Not exactly the cheapest, but worth every penny. Also ordered from Amazon. (Vinyl graphix made by me)

 

Welcome! I am further north in Ohio (near Cleveland).
