I bought this car for $1000 last summer. Body was in pretty good shape, and the interior was kinda trashed. I had a lot of parts from a '95 V6 that I had wrecked my senior year in high school, so I wanted to using parts from that one to fix this one up. On the outside, all we had to do was pop out one small dent and replace the front and rear bumpers (which survived the '95 rollover). I replaced the entire interior, except for the dash and console:






the '96, the wrecked '95, and my mom's '00 in the back:

It wasn't running on all cylinders, so we bought it figuring we could swap a different engine into it. Pics of the engine removal fiasco:






my dad was pretty happy that we finally got it out lol

When we got the engine out, we discovered why it wasn't running right: one of the belts wore through two of the spark plug wires. So we replaced the plugs and wires, put the engine back in, and I'm gonna be driving it (hopefully) this summer. I just bought a rebuilt 4L60E automatic transmission from a guy in Kansas, and today I bought these Pacesetter ceramic longtube headers from a guy in Utah today for $285 shipped:



More to come!
