MikeSki's '95GT

This in my GT, I have had it for almost one year now. I found her on Craigslist only two hours away. I believed the seller once I arrived that it had not moved in two years since the wheels were sunk into the ground. I brought a battery since he said he didn't have one, then it needed three quarts of trans fluid, gallon of coolant, P/S reservoir was empty, and two cans of fix-a-flat. It cranked, I test drove it and I offered $850 and drove it home. He couldn't believe I was gonna drive it but I told him if it wouldn't make the trip I didn't need it anyway. It made the trip with very little problems other than trying to see the road.

 

added a back seat for the kids

 

Installed pads, rotors, shocks, struts, sway bar links and bushings

 

My wife got me a CAI

I also replaced along the way of chasing a check engine light: TFI, IACV, TPS, MAF

 

Alternator took a dive on me, replace it, the belt and idler. In the neighborhood and had this stuff so decided to put it on too.

 

No pics, but next I added sportline springs, and new lower control arms. Started to get hot out and this fat guy don't like to sweat for no reason, went and got a compressor, drier and the lines. found out the condenser was plugged so had to replace it too. I discovered that the alternator plug was destroyed so had to repair that.

 

Now the damn thing is bouncing like I have hyrdos, found out Monroe shocks didn't like the new suspension geometry, and had to upgrade





My helper kept telling me I was in his way

 

scored a pair of seat for $100





I know it wasn't the best deal, but I really needed seats

 

About how it is now

 

I did clean the tail pipes

 

need body work still

 

Thanks y'all, $850 was a damn good deal. Lost track of what I have spent since still have a few loose ends I wanna deal with before body work, but I do love this car.

 

Thanks y'all. I definitely planned on subframe connectors, is that the same as full length braces? By sound of the name it sounds different

 

That is a beautiful GT CC
