98glt-5 Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Don't post all that much, little backround information on the car, bought it for $700 bucks with a blown engine, popped in a 2.3 and all the t5 goodies along with it and here it is. And sorry for the crappy phone pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzimark Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Awesome color If you're looking for cosmetic ideas, bright silver wheels and eggcrate/black grilles go great with nautic blue ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98glt-5 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Thanks, grill is in the near future. First I gotta swap out the Look at me, I think I am witty though, have all the parts except the clutch. It's actually tropic green metallic, even though it does look blue in those pictures. A lot of people don't like the color, its grown on me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98glt-5 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Thanks guys, and originally it was 700, thats not including the engine and turbo with only 70k on them. New radiator, front bumper, brakes, mass air flow, front o2 sensor, lower control arms, complete stage one, every coolant hose cause they were all swelled with oil. I have probably about 2,200 into it, still have to swap the tranny out too. Only about $600 bucks more. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98glt-5 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 There are definitely some spots that are fun, just gotta watch out for the 30 state cops on the side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hmm Didn't think that slip from 1st to second was common, Mine like loves to hang onto first with anything less than *hard* throttle. Have fun with the manual! I can't wait to get my hands on one in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
