Welcome the newest member of the family!!!
Just picked it up this morning
Lets see what you guys think
Engine - 3.4 DOHC V6
Seats - drivers is somewhat broken. this will get fixed, and seat covers will come off quick!!!
When this stereo was purchased new, it probably costed them about the same as I paid for the whole car, including the stereo
And here it is
1992 Pontiac Grand Prix SE
169,000 miles
3.4 DOHC V6 ( Twin Dual Cam )
I paid $300 for this and drove it home , got it from a co-worker, and I know he didn't beat on it. and I also know the last two owners before him
Now, the bad stuff.....
Runs on only four cylinders. I think it is a bad coil. I can remove the wires from the front pass side and rear drivers side cylinders and it makes no difference in how it runs. I am hoping that those two cylinders are on the same coil, but I haven't had time yet to really check it out. Just that quick little test.
Needs a drivers seat
Has some bad paint on the front bumper
MINOR rust in a few spots
Needs some little misc. interior stuff
Power steering pump bad or line is leaking
RIms will be stripped of the crappy spray paint job and cleaned up nice, probably painted black.
Dealer sticker will be gone
Oil is CLEAN
Trans shifts nice and tight
Timing belt only has about 10,000 miles on it
That'* about it so far, I drove it home. I will #1 repair it. If I can't get the engine running, I will pull it out and swap in my spare '93 L67 engine, trans, wiring, and PCM. IF I decide not to do that, I will part it out, and junk the body and make more then the initial $300 I paid for it.
SO, what do YOU think

Expert Gearhead
I think you have a project in front of you there, but if you can repeat your efforts that you put into the Crashed 93, I'm fully confident it will be sick lil GP!

Engine bay will be cleaned... you should know me better then that

Wren... stock spoiler sound great, thanks for the idea
I will most likely NOT be selling this car. yeah, I am a car *****. I have the room for them, and if they are paid for, they don't cost me a dime to keep :P
