This is my TGP, i got in a front end accedent back in april and have yet to collect the money to get it painted, but i did get a new front valence from GM (255$!!!) Its gonna cost me a total of 500$ for paint and repair of the front end. I got a new headlight and foglight, and i had no damage to the hood or anything. I expect to drive it this march all summer up till November, where ill switch back to my Winter beater, wich Was a 1988 Mazda 323 but the clutchis nearly gone and it burned oil like crazy. So i found an old 86 subaru RX Turbo 4WD Dual range for 100$ with broken timing belts to replace it. after the belts i found out some more issues, like the radiators plugged up and minor interior stuff, but the power locks windows ect all work.

After the accedent

So, did you EVER get a valance put on it?  Or was the accident before? It's been a while since you were on "the other" forum..

Anyways nice to see you back, car is looking good!  Clean those exhaust tips!  I used wheel acid cleaner and a wire brush and mine turned from black to clean.

I actually did do the said tip cleaning, i used 400 Grit sand paper and then 1000 grit and rubbing compound and they look almost like chrome, or polished alumimum. No pics tho. The dog bones need replaced, along with all the motor mounts i think, lol


no i have not put the valence on, the Valence is sitting, primed and unpainted in my back room right now, heres a pic of it, the box for it is HUGE like 2-3 times as big, no wonder shippings so much on these things.

I see a phantom TURBO badge on the back of your car lol  Same thing happened to me when I debadged the driver door of my cutlass. Car Looks great.  cool Although, i would do something with the center caps on your wheels. I dunno, something looks off having the center caps black.
