Not easy to do in the car. By the time you get it high enough to get the pan off the engine is only a few more pieces from being pulled out of the car. Did it on my 69 GTO only to pull the engine to put in a rear main seal. For gasket I would go with the B.O.P. engineering one piece oil pan gasket ...

Thanks, I will leave them on then.

I would like to remove the moldings off the doors of my 2004 SE. Has any body else done this? Are these held on by two sided tape only?

Thanks, Eric

Thanks, the interior needs a very good cleaning and I would like to wash it but the temps are suppose be around 10* or less for the next week.

Just bought this 2004 Bonneville SE Thursday to replace my 98 Olds 88 that needs new brake lines. It has 111,800 miles, just starting to rust below the gas door and at the lower doglegs behind the rear doors. First owner wrote all maintenance done to it in the owners manual. Had new tires and brake ...

There's one for sale locally, $2500.00 obo, 142,000 miles. What should one look out for on these? I see they switched platforms for this body style, do the rockers rust out like on my 98 Olds 88? Since it's a pretty loaded car, moon roof, heated leather all kinds of buttons and switches, do they ...

I pulled the drivers side cover off, supprisingly it wasn't corroded but some plastic melted into one of the terminals, I'll check the other side tomorrow. My rockers are shot so I'll have to check them every once in a while. At least I know they're there.

Thanks,
Eric

You where right, I pulled the wiring harness out and squeezed it and the pump primed and the windows a seat work. Thanks Mechanical Mike, really apreciate your post and pictures.

Thanks, Eric

Should beable to find bar chain oil at a hardware store or home improvement store.

My 98 Olds 88 the fuel pump won't run. I replaced it last year in Sept. Saturday I started the car, it ran for a couple minutes and then stalled. Cranked over again and just cranked. Turned key back and removed and replaced, cranked again and started and ran fine the rest of the day Saturday, Sunday ...

Looking great!!!

Is that a 400? What's the HP on that engine?

Thanks, it's a 455, don't have any HP figures. This engine in my 62 Grand Prix ran low 13's at 107 mph with the car weighing 4200 pounds and 2.73 gears. The GTO has 3.08 gears and should weigh around 3700-3800 pounds. I put around 30 ...

Almost done if they ever are. Have a few little things to do. Computer had a virus and lost my other progress pictures. These aren't the greatest as they are taken my garage. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0373.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0374 ...

Thanks, I paid $5500 for this one, no rust, garage kept. I've always wanted a Formula because I don't like the spoiler and ground affects of the Trans Am. I wasn't really looking when this one showed up on craigslist and was nearby.

No mods planned, but you know how that goes.

Thanks, the GTO may be driveable next spring, the Firebird I only got to drive it home and park it in the garage as it started snowing. Snow = ton of salt on the roads around here.

Installed the interior door panels, dash, steering column and windshield. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0239.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0237.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0238.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com ...

I bought this about three weeks ago 96 Firebird Formula LT1 6 speed. All stock except for the SLP Ram Air hood, rims and catback exhuast. Got it home just before it started snowing. Pictures are kind of dark. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0245.jpg http://i352.photobucket ...

Thanks for the compliments, it's factory style reproduction meterial for the head liner and package tray. I've bought everything from PY. The headliner was installed by a guy that does interior work as a side job.

Got some more done, both door panels reglued, cleaned and installed. Headliner, sail panels, package tray, visors shoulder belts, dome light, rear view mirrror, interior, taillight and dash wiring installed. http://i352.photobucket.com/albums/r322/pontiac6269/100_0228.jpg http://i352.photobucket.com ...

Yes, can feel it at half throttle and gets worse from there.

Thanks,
