Hi there, most of you know me from the W boards fairly well, I've had my '94 cutlass supreme convertible for about 4 years, but over the weekend and the last few days, I've aquired a '90 TGP as a trade for my GMC Jimmy that I never drove anymore. It needs a trans, which he's throwing in with the deal, as well as a brand new valence, and a ton of other parts, not to mention a complete parts car (minus drivetrain) if I can get it, although I'll probably strip off a few things and have him junk it. anyways, i washed her up today, so here are some before and afters:


before tow home (sunday i think)




a bit ago:













after a wash:

The paint looks a bit rough, but welcome to TGPforums!  ;)

Thanks Kenny. I actually bought the car from God910, he said he was a member here a few years ago. nice guy, luckily only lives like 10 minutes or so from me :icon_mrgreen:

welcome to the forum, enjoy the hard work, hair pulling frustration, and eventual sense of accomplishment you will get when she runs.  :laugh:

looks like a good pickup for sure.  congratulations.  I have black envy.

Nice pickup!  I'm so jealous of the black TGP! ;)

wow, a total change before and after.... So whats the price you got it for?? If you get the parts car let me know i can always use some spare parts.... Looks better than mine.. im jelous :laugh:

good to see you joined the club

Yeah, the guy he got the car off of is a real douche bag.   :laugh:  This is the time I've been waiting for... someone that will actually love the car as much as I did when I first got it.   :icon_cry:  I really was hoping that a W owner would end up with it, as IMHO, it's the prize of the Dubs (again, IMHO.)  And I know a normal car person would get pissed and junk it.  But this car comes with quite a few treats that make the car much more likeable (vacuum brakes, TG160 chip, JeffM xover, etc.)  I can't wait for him to get it running again so I can go for a ride!

And I want to race it in the WRX!   :icon_twisted:

When I saw that first pic it made me think:  "Dueling TGP's"  :laugh: 

BTW, WTF did you do to the red TGP?   :laugh:

yeah, ummm, I'm not sure. got it all the way to the end of the driveway, and something just fell apart in the front end, and by that time I didn't have time to try messing with it for too long since I had to get the trailer back. I'll have to come out with Ken sometime and just strip some stuff off it and then have the wreckers get it or something. I'm free after 5 tonight if you wanna give me a call.

Nice score! Like R Dubya said, enjoy the **fun** times ahead. You will learn so much about that car...maybe too much lol. But, eventually, you will get that sense of accomplishment he was talking about. It happens to the best of us.

A man and his TGP...it's a beautiful thing!

i kinda figured when you mentioned the tranny had a hole blown in it whose car you were getting  :laugh:

i was about to pull the trigger on it last year and had crap come up that sucked away my monies for said car,  however things worked out in the end and i'm going to pick my 90 up saturday.

funny how the truly serious gen1 guys usually end up with a TGP after it's all said and done. 

hah,  i registered in january 03(back when i had a tgp motor in the lumina sedan) and this is my first post.

Oh, and where the hell is my Jimmy?   :laugh:  That car will be gone by Monday, so you better hurry.  It'd be one thing if it was sitting in the back yard all shitty and ugly, but it's right there in front of the house and I need to park there.  I'm taking the cutting torch to it on Saturday or Sunday.  I'll give you a call tonight.

ok, cool. basically I want the hood, wheels, and really that's it, plus the trans and other crap you had in the garage. I can come get all that crap tomorrow if you're free. I'll even help you cut up the car :lol:

Oh, and he didn't get that one, it's still here, and now that I'm finally running out of stupid projects it may take center stage as soon as my WRX motor Swap/GT35R/FMIC swap gets done.  (Hoping for ~450 AWHP on pump gas, and high 10's, add race gas and meth/water you're staring down the barrel of damn near 600 AWHP.  :icon_eek:)

I'm going to be finishing up my fuel rail mounts for the smaller injectors, and installing a 4T65 E-HD in it.  I'm going to be gutting the shit out of it and see just how low in the 13's I can make the stock turbo go.   ;)
