for the couple of you not on the w-body site, I am finally gettin my car lookin good. I got the bumper back from paint and it is goin on as soon as I fix everything else. I got the old one off and the new bumper supports are goin on soon, I got the radiator out to go to the shop for repairs and then gota put it all back together. So here are some pics I got earlier...

After some hammering and forcing, I was able to get the new bumper support on, more pics to come.
And the radiator is goin to the shop tomorrow..

Yep, prime example that GM brakes suck :icon_confused:
BTW nice pics Meltboy11
Nice work :thumb:
Are the core supports replaceable on these?
Bumper looks good with fresh paint. I need to do the same thing on my red car, but with the rear bumper. I'm going to pick up a spray gun soon and respray it.

My TGP's have great brakes. ;) I can't say the same for my 1993 Grand Prix...but they're not terrible. :laugh:
EDIT: Nick, I'm pretty sure you can drill out all the spot welds, etc. and replace the core support. It would probably be a pretty good sized job to tackle though.
Heheh is that the bumper you bought off of me?
Looks good, put a towel under it! going to scratch it up!
Ken
yep that's the one from you.. .and it was only temporary, I just set it there to take a couple pics, it's safe and sound in the shed until it's time to put it on :)
Well it is finally 99.9% done... I forgot the 2 sided tape for the pontiac emblem, so that will go on when I feel like goin to the store again... but here we go... try not to drool too much over the valence... he did a fucking amazing job on it!!!

Oh yea, real jealous now,awesome job. I bet that SE is getting sick and tired of being second to a TGP ;)
Looks nice man. I think you should remove that hood bra before it rubs your paint off though..
Hard to believe that is the front bumper I pulled from the tgp in the yard. Wow he did a great job with that valance. Looks perfect I'm glad that tgp is going to good use! Give that SE some love now!
Ken
The love is comin to the SE in due time, I still aint done with the TGP... I need a new hood so I can lose that hood protector...the hood looks reallllly bad, you can't tell, it's hidden very well..I will take some pics of it this weekend with it off when I wash it.
And ya, I was driving and it turned to night... those blackouts do exactly that.. I couldn't see a damn thing, they had to come off... lol
