Hello from NE Ohio

Post by SlowSabre »

Hello... new to the forum, but I've been browsing for a while looking for information. I'm in the process of rebuilding my 2003 LeSabre into something that handles a little better and has more power. Since there is so much in common with the Bonneville, I'm learning a lot from all of you... thanks!
So, my first upgrades are going to be to rebuild the complete front suspension, steering, and brakes with GXP spec parts. After that, I'm going to be building a turbo drive train with the goal of 350-400 whp. Last up will be new paint and cosmetics... I'd rather have the go than the show. I'll be around here asking a lot of questions that you probably don't know the answer to (after all, who builds a LeSabre, lol). Anyway, thanks for putting up with it.

Thanks for the welcome.
I could post pics, but right now it's just your average beaten-up grandma car. Hopefully I'll have something more to show sooner than later. Suspension mods should be happening soon.
