Bonneville in WV

[TeachScience]

I just bought a Bonneville SLE and was surprised to fall in love with the big old thing.

A little more:

Car is black with 120k on the clock. Got a new engine under warranty 30k ago.

Stock Chrome wheels and a MTX bass tube in the trunk. Chrome twin exit exhaust finishers

got any pics of it

[Frosty]

Sounds great. Pictures are always appreciated. Any plans to modify it?

So where in WV are you from? And most important question of all - Mountaineers or Thundering Herd fan?

[TeachScience]

Not sure about future plans.

I'll get pictures soon. It's in crazy good shape for the age. It was meticulously cared for by first owner (a city sherif) only at the dealership. I have records for every single service. Even oil changes!

I live in Glenville and work in Morgantown. Yes I drive 1,000 miles a week.

My maters degree is from WVU. So I'm gold and blue. I even have a mountaineer beard.

Egg Zach Ely! Oops sleep deprivation is tough we have a five month old on tip of having the monster commute. I don't sleep.

Welcome. Nice to see another Bonnie member on here.

[Frosty]

Sounds like a helluva commute but I understand it since I've had similar commutes. Sounds like you know your way up and down I-79/119 then. I have a bunch of friends in Charleston so I know how important being a Herd fan or Mountaineer fan is. I can't wait to see pictures of your ride.

Dirty (very dirty) and yellowed fogged headlights.

Cleaned it up and buffed the lights. New pictures soon.

[TeachScience]

Not the best backdrop but at least you can tell that the wheels are chrome.

[TeachScience]

Yeah, heck of a cruiser. Highway flyer. I'm putting so much interstate under this Pontiac it's scary. 1000 miles a week for the last 8 months.

[TeachScience]

Just found a supercharged 3800 with trans for $650 locally.

[JUSTA6]

Cleaned up good. Welcome to the site.

[TeachScience]

Swapped the coolant elbows for metal ones, removed outside onstar. Now I need to tint it.

I wish I could lower it a little.

[95naSTA]

The easiest way to lower it 1-1.5" is to go with http://coilsprings.com/

[TeachScience]

How much are they. Website says fill out for a quote.

Welcome, the Bonnie cleaned up good.

When you restored the headlights, did you seal the lenses?

[TeachScience]

Plan on it. But not yet. Clear coat? Suggestions?

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Look for "Headlight Sealant", I've seen it sold at Advanced Auto, probably find it online easier.

[TeachScience]

Good to know.

Seems like the air conditioner is acting up. Is this common?
