thanks everyone. The seats came out of an 01 grand am. The rear dash is just painted as said.

Well, I guess I should update this for you guys. I just got the panels back from paint and they look awesome thanks to my buddy mkopsi. He had to rebuild a few corners on the side skirts and door panels due to cracks in the gelcoat and fiberglass. Everything is reinforced now so I am pretty happy with everything.

everything looks really nice, now we get to spend 14 hours wet sanding and buffing

and stay tune guys the front bumper is on its way just needed alot of work and reconstruction of the top half because of cracking and an improper repair from the last owner!

Yes, they must have came from an anniversary edition grand am in 2001. I bought them off the net and they had already been pulled from the car.

PhantomLover007 · 07-13-2009, 10:03 PM

I need to see if I can find some.

bp's97gagt · 08-02-2009, 04:01 PM

Got a few small things done this past week. I converted to a 99+ plastic tank and charcoal canister and installed my racetronix fuel pump and wiring harness. I still am trying to mess with the fuel lines without ruining them from to much flex.

I also was able to clean the transmission and get it painted. This is a NVG550 5 speed from a 1993 HO grand am. It has prothane transmission mounts with an Overkillenginering front mount.

I created a mount for the new fuse box and mounted the distribution block and new FPR

And lastly, I started polishing my HO intake manifold. It has a long way to go but it is starting to shape up nicely I think.

bp's97gagt · 08-02-2009, 04:02 PM

That's it for now. Hopefully more updates in a week.

RPO3 · 08-02-2009, 11:21 PM

The tranny and polished HO look tits!
Nice job

bp's97gagt · 05-22-2010, 02:52 PM

updaaaaaaaate!

I finally graduated and had an opportunity to work on things for 2 days while I was home. Here are a few pics to show how things currently sit.

PS...I was able to salvage the block but I need to find a job ASAP before anything else progresses with this project. Anyone know of a company that needs a young, eager business professional?
