1992 Grand Prix Progression

i like the vinyl overlay.

[Twenty]

Thanks! Now that the car's been washed it matches MUCH better.

You can hardly see the vinyl in that shot, I can tell she's nice and shiny She's almost glowing! Haha.

Thanks! There's even more shine now, following a bath on Sunday.

And don't take this the wrong way (I don't intend it to be mean or anything), but to me the thought of this car being a girl is odd. To me, if anything it's always been a boy car.

Does, um, he have a name? Sorry, I'm just used to calling cars girls.

[Twenty]

No need to apologize, a male car isn't exactly the norm.

His name's Judge, because the original license plate started with JDG. I came up with the name when I was much younger and it seemed to fit.

That's fun. It of course makes me think of a Judge, but for some reason it totally fits your car. My car is named Xena because her original license plate had a Z in it, and she's "hot like warrior princess" as I like to say. Hahaha. The Fiero is YC which is short for Yellow Car. Creative, I know. (My dad's Fiero is Red Car, so... at least they match?)

My father's car (Lincoln Continental) is referred to as "Big Red". Whatever works.

Exactly. Whatever makes us, the car owners, happy. My roommate's car is Black Betty. Buuuuut anyway, back on topic YOUR CAR IS GORGEOUS. /end.

[Jean-Seb]

Judge seems fitting indeed; many moons have passed since its birth, therefore all-knowing and wise.

Aww, thanks!

If all goes according to plan, some friends from my car club will be over at my house on Thursday, and Judge will be put on jackstands and somewhat torn apart, to make way for new parts.

[Jean-Seb]

Really ?

[Twenty]

Oh yes.

The date's set, the only variable will be if all of the parts I have planned to go in will be ready.

[Jean-Seb]

Can't wait to see the updates then !

Have fun doing it too, that's also important.

[Twenty]

I will be beside myself with joy if the selected parts are installed.

I'm sure I'll have the 'What on Earth are we doing' thought when the car's in pieces, but when it's back together I'll be happy.

[Jean-Seb]

Haha I know what you're talking about. But I don't know if I can wait until next weekend for pics...

[valid]

IMPATIENCE.

^^^ x2

Can't wait to see it.

[Twenty]

Thank you guys (And girl )!

Well, if you guessed I was talking about coilovers, you're right! But they've been delayed. I'm just getting over a minor cold that came out of nowhere, but was bad enough to keep me from going to the junkyard this week for a set of OEM front knuckles. Without those, I can't assemble my front coilovers. Long story short, there have been a few hiccups so the coilovers are waiting for another day.

Tomorrow will still be my car club's 'Install Day' though, and the GP will be getting a couple of items installed (Fingers crossed!), and a lip kit will be going on another member's Acura TL. I'm sure there will be many pictures too, so I should have something to update the thread with.

[[ChaosweaveR]]

Pic whorage.

I knows it.

[Twenty]

Yeah, most likely. One member recently picked up a new DSLR so I'm sure we'll put it to use.

[Jean-Seb]

Bummer...

[Twenty]

Yeah...I want to have them in by the end of May, that's my new target. Hopefully I can meet it, but with University ending next week I don't see why not.

Today the install day went pretty much as planned, we got an OEM A-Spec front lip and side skirts on an Acura TL and started on the GP's side diffusers. After a run to Canadian Tire for some longer bolts to replace the ones currently in place, I can finish up.

And, the GP broke two more drill bits today. It eats through those like crazy.

The only picture I have of the GP is a blackberry photo, unfortunately you'll all have to be patient for some better pictures, probably next week.
