so, I finally decided to throw some pics of my sedan up on here. lemme know what you think

taken with my older-than-dirty Sidekick, so the quality is poop


taken at the 5th Annual GM-Only car show at Silver Springs Nature Park, here in Ocala, Florida. and surprisingly enough, I wasn't the only j-body there. some guy had one of the 2 GMPP Sunfires.. all hydro transmission, supercharged Ecotec in a '97 body, tri-color paint.. made my car look like @!#$ when it was already sitting between a '70 Chevelle SS and a '57 Bel-Air on air and chrome


some shots down at griderusmc's house in south FL.. after fixing alot of electrical issues






the most recent pics, taken a couple months ago



I figured I'd put these up bc the car will be up for sale officially in a couple weeks. I found a suitable replacement, so the wheels, coilovers and headlights will be staying with me. enjoy!

I may consider a slight part-out, depending on what a wholesale will net

It's clean, but why didn't you put a lip on the back bumper so it'd line up better with the skirts and front?

as Mike stated, the previous owner did the front bumper bc he found it on a Cav that just came into the junkyard as he was leaving, and from what I remember, it happened to be silver lol.. I bought this car for SynthAngel so she'd have something to drive when she moved here, as well as having a daily driver until the Black Pearl is back on the road. the only things I've really done to it were the coilovers and wheels.

Mike, if you want the tails, you need to talk to Justine about that. I promised her I'd try to keep it local when I sell it and I wouldn't part it out. as it stands, when I sell it, I'm taking my suspension and wheels back off, as well as keeping the headlights since Kris made those. I don't think she'd mind the tails going to a fellow Florida J member tho

like I said, this car will be for sale as soon as her replacement is road legal. if it doesn't sell locally, I will have to do what I can to get it gone.. so at some point, you might see it in the classifieds. and for the new car, I'll proceed with the same plans I had for this one

Mike, I think the way they are wired, it would be more of a headache for him to remove and re-fit new wiring for stockers. They're wired into the 3rd brake light which has that safety feature thingy w the 'warning flash' in it.
Good luck w the sale Ev, Gert is a good ol girl, I remember Eco swapping her in my backyard!

thanks phewes

yea, from what Gil was telling me, he wired the Toyos before there was even a how-to on here. he had to figure it all out himself lol.. gotta give the kid credit where it'd due, thats for sure

I like the exhaust, so good call on the fartcan, Mike

just throwing it out there... when it goes up for sale, $1200 for it back on steelies, $1500 with my 95-99 Z24 wheels and Falken tires (205/45/16... yes, 45s on 16s lol). tires on steelies are like new, tires on Z wheels have less than 5k on them. like I said, the JBO community gets first dibs

Re: Gertrude
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 7:06 PM
heh, thanks guys. I figured it was a decent price, as I'm not going for profit. 1500 is about wha it's gonna cost to get the new sedan, get it fixed and tagged.. just wanna break even

AZN, you're in Cali, right? and yea, you have plenty of parts to make it look the way I wanted to

If things change let me know! But its sexy as hell, and If my girl didnt get her vert, I would seriously tell her to pick this up. I wouldnt care if it was back on stockers with a stock suspension. And for the price, jeez if you didnt live so far I would be all over it, if I had the cash that is lol
