What I got for Christmas :(

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

:bwoohoo: They made me an offer that I accepted today!

It will pay for the 02 SunFire (including the new brakes and other goodies AND I get to remove the Jeep wheels and new tires.......and anything else I can unbolt as long as they can tow it away. :banana: :banana: I'm going to pop on the old original wheels with the old summer tires.
I'll even try to remove the Magnaflow tip if it'll come off (bringing a hacksaw. :twisted:

Almost too easy....hmmmm....I haven't got the check yet but expect to get it later next week.....then I'll just hand it over to pay for the SunFire. :)

Victor gives his statement tomorrow and that is all they are waiting for.

Definitely going to have my Bullet and the Firebird appraised first thing in the spring.

The adjuster told me if I wasn't so well organized with all the receipts and pictures it would have limited me to only getting about $1,200 for an 89 with 320,000 kms on it.

I think Sunny will be a safer car and will last longer than the Jeep would have. (Particularly blowing all that cheese with 100 psi compression :wink: )

SCORE! :banana: :banana:

Got off work early today. The rain stopped and the sun came out...........it was a good omen.

I installed the old wheels & tires and took the gold crosslace with the new Yoko's, the new battery, the radio (less faceplate, dash facia, the new fuel filter, all the new chrome wheel nuts, OEM mudflaps, new wiper blades, and a few misc items :twisted:

Tried to take off the Magnaflow tip without success. The U-bolt crimped it on too well. :sad:

Wasn't much else I could swap without it being too obvious. Still had the new shocks, ball joints and rear spring as well as all the engine parts like head, plugs, wires, rotor and cap. :sad:

Not a bad score though since all the parts will fit the BlueBullet. :)

If you could have unbolted everything as long as it could be pulled away... why not the drivetrain?

Cause I'm a NOOB!! #-o
I am too honest most times.

I'm happy enough with what I got.

I got $4,848. from the insurance on top of it.
