thanks, and your welcome also.
i cant wait to get it painted. after i buy new struts im going to start gathering for some new paint.
either gloss white, satin white, or pearl white.
i would like the pearl white over the others. just depends on what it costs.
Are you going to do your window trim as well?

There used to be an SEi running around here that had a cloth interior. It had been swapped when the leather wore out. The big things to look for are the Bose stereo and the rear disk brakes. If you have those, you either bought a car that's been around here or you have an SEi.
MINT!!!!!!

ah cool to know.
might arrange a time to come up and visit you or something if you still wanted.
and random question, would you happen to have any spare struts for sale or anything?
if not ill have to just ebay some.. or if there are any sites for them would be cool to know also.
well, I bought some new struts today. will put them in as soon as i can after they arrive to my door
also... im still dumbfounded by how my 3g has some sort of lsd in the front end.. its definetly using both wheels as grip unless certain cars came with lsd or similar someone must have done work on this car in the past...
also. various things have been tampered with under the hood, such as the valve cover has been off in the past. i know this because the gasket i removed was not stock. who knows what else they messed with.
im the third owner of this car guy i bought it from told me he got it from the original owner.

well i hope this isnt to off topic... but i spent today doing.. 3 hours at the junkyard gathering parts to fix my moms wrecked car.. something she did last friday early saturday morn.. she ripped the whole right rear suspension out along with breaking the spindle, and trashing the strut. ill post some before pics, you can see the lower suspension arms all twisted up.. and the other damage. they are all night pics sorry but still see-able.

also will post a current state pic at the end of damage pics.
all nUsed suspension links
nUsed sway bar. and mounts.
nUsed strut assembly.
nUsed spindle.

Wow, nice handy work.
Still drive straight? haha
not sure yet haha. we should find out tomorrow.
we need to bring the tire from that side in to get taken off the rim, all cleaned, and remounted.
then take it for an alignment.
it should drive straight though nothing that the linkage is connected to is noticeably bent out of shape.
Tell your mom to quit drifting into curbs
haha, yeah.. well she slid off of highway 415 into a ditch and it hit a tree and messed all that up. and the cops even gave her a ride home. lol.Tell your mom to quit drifting into curbs
new update, ive been pm'ing a guy on ebay about a complete console he listed.
hes gonna end the auction for $90 for me, i guess its not that bad of a deal. seeing as people on here sell cupholders and armrests for like 40-45 each. so the whole unit for 90 i can live with that.
the grand am is fixed, and drives straight.
shes going to get an alignment like tomorrow or something i saved her alot of money doing it myself though.
also i bought the console. he will be shipping it soon.

I paid $10 for my [red] armrest and my cup holders were free. Don't blow $90 on a setup that doesn't even match your interior.
well, in way it does match.
everything higher than the dash is tan. roof pillars and everything.
so i think it will look good. and if i ever manage to find the other tan interior im going to swap it out. i like the tan inside the best.
and for the price, really its fine with me i guess..
i mean, ill prolly never find another complete setup like that at one time, so im willing to do it.
and also.. a guy had a full console exactly the same on there and someone won it t like $250 or something close to that price. last i looked at it before it ended was at $220 bid.
My struts came in today. so happy.
and i put them in already.
it rides good, it is a little bouncy but its not that bad.
also cut my finger open while changing them.
i guess its not a success unless you shed blood xD
se-i console installed.
i think it looks good it actually goes with the flow when you are sitting inside.. the console vs the upper half of tan interior.
and i have my updated odometer.
im gonna have to get the leather piece redone i think.. its a little worn, shows its age..
but im happy with it.
yes im aware there is a taco bell cup on the floor lol xD
Where did you buy the troll face?
i made it.
i printed it out on a piece of paper, darkened the lines with a fine point sharpie and cut it out with an exacto knife.
then reinforced it with tape.. then cut it out of tape.. then taped it to the inside of the window. and then cut a smooth small line around the image on the window so it will still stick and then removed the rest..
but also ebay sells regular vinyl trollface stickers.. i have some of those aswell.
