Hey all...joining up...picking up my first Bonneville tomorrow...

2000 Black SSEi...looking forward to it bigtime. Have run many a grand prix with all flavours of buick block renditions...

Car has a glorious 240,000kms...and looks like showroom condition. Never seen salt and snow, and no rust anywhere. Very well maintained, and only has a couple minor tweaks to deal with.

Have a fully built 23k L26 block, with ported L67 heads, rockers, and a ported LIM and Gen V ready to go into this thing as soon as the L67 gets tired. A fresh 19k trans in the shop also...Until then, I'll just clean it up a bit and baby it as is........okay, okay, I am lying...I'm going to pulley it a little with supporting mods... ;)

Looks like a great forum, and I look forward to leaning on your knowledge of this new model that transports a familiar engine to me...

Thanks guys...

Graham

Thanks for the welcome...here's a prelude. Also in the pic has been my most recent pride and joy...2005 GT2 Grand Prix.

Once I get a few more photos of the new ride, I'll update...

The first snow this car has ever seen was today...

MMMM...virgin L67...

My pride...at least until I bring this Bonne up to speed...

Both are beautiful cars! Red calipers look amazing on a black car. Your headlights could use a polish though. The Prix looks sick with the carbon hood.

Update of a few changes...clear corners, did polish the headlights...slapped some rims on and blacked out the back...

Stuck a pin stripe also...just a teaser yet, not sure if I like it. Going to try a smaller one...this one is very eye catching.

Welcome! I feel like I have seen your GP before, maybe on the grand prix forum.

Yes likely, I troll over on the GP and V6 forums a fair bit...
