AshyBone Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Those are good daily cars. with the manual 5speed they got some good amount of power to them. Sorry about the accidents though. Any near future plans for a paint job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowquest Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Are you using o2 simulators with those headers? How are they working out for ya'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomer3G Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 i have the stock o2s in it and they all throw codes. i am waiting for my mechanic to get a new program system to remap and he is going to delete the need for the o2 sensors. i dont plan on any paint or body work for a while. i want to get my suspension first, then i will work on engine, i.e. 3.8l crank, 272 cams, lighter fly, and sport pulleys and gears. after i am satisfied with that then i will save up and re do the whole car to the original paint. i have a dent on the driver rear fender and a bunch of little dents and dings all along the fenders. the total cost for body work and paint for my car is just around $2,400.

Burton Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Too bad you're not in TX. I could bodywork and paint that whole thing for about $1500. At least get that bumper done until you can afford the rest. I bet you could find a body shop to do it for about $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomer3G Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 thats a really clean 3G. on the matter of the red front bumper, i found a site that sells dealership colors in a spray can. its only $20 for the can and it will match the color. im going to buy a can in the next month or so. i have to fix my front end first. hit a pot hole last week and snapped my lower control arm.

I would suggest 2 cans, especially if you want more than 1 coat of paint (you'll want more than 1 coat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
