Wait so the drivers side has both the Micky mouse mirror AND the duel post one. Neat trick

I derped. But the photos are self explainitory.

Remember, this thread is "as it sits right now" not "when it's finished and looking great."

There's a lot of work to be done with that GA yet but I'm sure the final product would look pretty good. I like the paint job and I hope that this car is still being worked on and not in it's downward decline.

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-07-2012, 12:28 PM

True...but kind of odd to offer no other backstory to the car's current condition.

Debadge it!

I like the smurf's color, if nothing else, it either has potential, or it was nice and got struck the f(ck down

Clay barred and waxed the whole car last weekend. It needed it bad after sitting under the carport at my friends house for 6 weeks while the engine was out. It was a mess! Cleaned my air filter and replaced some tubing on the wire harness on Sunday. Here's the engine bay, sans supercharger for now.

Sitting under the parking structure.

I'm actually debating putting a Pontiac arrow back on the front. I think it might look kind of good. Gotta show my Pontiac pride!

I'd leave the other badges off still. What do you guys think?

Keep in mind, it still has the blue backing on it and it's not perfectly centered or straight. I just stuck it up with some tape to see how it would look. It's just a stock grand am arrow too. I wonder if a different style would look better, ie from a G8 or something? I don't think I've actually seen anyone with an RK kit though that has put the arrow back on it.

myneedforspeed · 05-07-2012, 07:03 PM

Definitely put the arrowhead on. Maybe a g6 arrowhead.

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-07-2012, 07:07 PM

The G8's, GTO's and G6's arrowhead for sure.

Just got the engine put back together.
Studded the head
cometic gaskets
painted the lower intake black
painted the heads black and polished the sides
H.O. alt painted black
All painted with automotive epoxy, black base then clear

[ChaosweaveR] · 05-07-2012, 07:17 PM

I like the UIM, how did you do that?

Also, you know you have to show us the dyno #'s for this when it gets tuned.

zukiracer19 · 05-07-2012, 08:10 PM

Lol and there it sits... has since winter... I should just sell it.

Papa Smerf · 05-07-2012, 08:41 PM

that car has been through a lot.. its still a work in progress and because of the colors, its really hard to change out and replace a lot of stuff... ex front and rear bumper or mirrors

.

tw0123 · 05-07-2012, 08:55 PM

my current update... S&S headers installed, dual magnaflows, painted alternator black to match the rest:

zukiracer19 · 05-08-2012, 01:27 PM
