Re: Well I guess this is the end...

What a shame man. That car is good looking. As far as reliability goes, I wouldn't have thought anything of 200k miles. My old 95 was at 300k before we parted ways and my 97 now has 266800. My lowest mileage bonneville I ever owned has 198k on it, and im gonna be restoring that.

supercharged bonneville...gold edition?

I was told it was a 95 ssei with a blown Trans. Ok. For the $150 dollar agreed on price I thought I couldn't go wrong. At the ...

I was thinking the same thing. My 95 was misfiring for a while and it was right after I changed my plugs and wires. I thought I had attached the wires ...

Re: my first and latest Bonne (pic heavy)

"Laces" refer to the cross lace rims. I personally love those on that body style!

PS - if you need ideas on cleaning up your car, find some of Andrew's (harofreak00) threads of his flips. He has great ideas - that's how I got mine so clean!

haha that's kinda what I thought you might have meant ...

I wanna show you something real quick, man. Take a good look and listen closely haha.

This is one of my projects, I had just watched Expendables and wanted a kinda flat black look, but more black then grey which alot of them look like. This is what I started with.

Re: Getting my foot in the door. Need help!!

Assuming your question is broader then Grand Prix/Bonnevilee information, just tinkering with your car is a great resource. When I turned 16 I began getting into cars, prior to that I wasnt interested at all. Saw them as a mode to get from one place to the next. Then my eyes were opened wide. I fell ...

Re: my first and latest Bonne (pic heavy)

I love the laces on your white bonnie. Looks like you loved her!
For the leather seats, use a magic eraser. Works wonders - but condition the leather after. Keep the progress going! As always - we love pictures :beerchug:

haha forgive my ignorance, but laces are the wheels or the striping lol ...

Looks pretty good.

I like the other cars in that photo too, especially the El Camino. I've always wanted one of those.

Thanks! Yeah, the El Camino actually belongs to the brother of my buddy who drives the Caddy. Both of whom are 2 of my best friends. We built the ElCo up tho, it came originally ...
